[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Numbering of search results invalid

This could be related to an issue we see in Sitka.

 From time to time, a search summary will return with 'Showing records  
1-10 of 35', then, when you go to page 2 (or 3, or 4, etc - it varies  
depending on the search), the total number of results decreases to  
(say) 6, and the second page reports that no results were returned.

We haven't determined what's happening yet, though Equinox is helping  
us debug the solution.
