There's a lot of talk about line counts being off for various reasons. Looking at our (2.10.2) log file, 71 of 240 articles we got yesterday had bad line counts. 50 of those had 1 line less than expected, which seems pretty systematic. The other 20 showed no such pattern (I haven't looked at the articles themselves). I haven't seen anyone mention the problem being that widespread.
