I don't see any way for this to occur without an indexing error in the software. I think it is at least worth a look at the arbitrary name generator and where it stores its counter.

Double or more hits in a single post is possible, if for instance somebody has pasted an image N times. This happens often in my forums, where people copy their preferred smilie instead of asking me to add them to the stock items. Similarily, you'll find underlines, page separators, signatures and all kinds of graphical additions people just paste on the fly without even knowing it.

In the case of having 2 or more hits of an image in a single post, it would be interesting to see if there are actually two or more copies of that image. If it isn't, then maybe something strange is going on.
