      Hmm..  That is odd.   Does the  -Q  listing show that 
      the sum of all R= counts in a group

      Oh,   the  stored recipients count is also wrong.
      SNMP counters are giving bogus data.

      The value in parenthesis tells what was counted while
      generating this output, value without parenthesis
      are internal counters which are managed when messages
      are added and removed from queues, but apparently
      sometimes those get added too much, and/or decremented
      too much.
