I have come accross the same problem. When I validated a few sites, the numbers jumped from 11 to 151. Then I downloaded the linksid.txt file and changed the number back to 11. It seem to work. However, I just noticed that the number has jumped from 14 total records to 17. (No, there are NO duplicate records.)

How does this file become corrupted? How can
this be prevented?
