that's okay. it just means that the clump count
in the arena tail is out-of-date. it only gets updated every
512 blocks. it's okay for it to be out-of-date. what matters
is that the blocks are on the disk. everything else is
brought up-to-date by syncindex or when venti starts.
venti/sync just makes sure that all the data is on disk,
which is the bare minimum necessary to be sure that
you will be able to retrieve the blocks should venti crash
and restart immediately after the sync returns.
