RE: Standard checks to debug figure numbering that increments, then restarts at 1 instead of continuing to increment

[Jim Stauffer <jstauffer@xxxxxxx>]

Is it only figure numbers that are the problem, or all numbering? I ran into
a rare incidient with v 5.x where the end mark of one chapter lost its
properties and caused all numbering in the subsequent chapter to restart.
