[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Problems with facets

We're having a problem with facets in our catalog.  If I do a subject 
search on dogs and look at the geographic subjects, I see Alaska (2). 
When I click on that, I expect to get two records but I get 54, and the 
now-selected Alaska says 54 in parentheses.  When I deselect it, it 
reverts to displaying (2).  The author facet for Eric Hill displays (8) 
but finds and displays (43) when selected.

I see the same problem for all the searches I have tried.  The facet 
numbers are all much lower when unselected than the (apparently 
accurate) numbers when selected.  The inaccurate low numbers also affect 
the order of the entries in the facet list. Here are the first five 
geographic facets for my dog search.  The first number is what it 
reported when unselected, and the second it shows when the facet is 
selected.

Connecticut 3/14
Alaska 2/51
Texas 2/21
Australia 1/13
England 1/51

I tested this on a few other Evergreen catalogs, and found the same 
problem on all but Laurentian's.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
