 * Hi,
 * Category count’s arn’t showing up properly. In an archive page and on my side
   bar I’m using the list_cats() function to list them with the count option on.
   The counts are wrong!
 * With the admin interface, when I go to the categories list I get the right counts,
   so I supose that this doesn’t use the list_cats() function. Any clues on this?
 * Oh!, BTW, yes, I have also tried the wp_list_cats() function. No luck

 * Ok, I’ve just figured it out. Due to some major post editing, on some posts the‘
   published’ flag was lost. These post’s were counting for the admin interface 
   but wern’t counted on public pages. Makes sense.
 * Sorry.
