I remember my initial implementation just restored the original state.
Thinking better of it I made a change to the current system.  Now that you
mention it, it wouldn't seem to need the counter anymore.  Just for laughs I
commented out the serialization of the counter and if failed to build the
test.  I'll have to look into it.
