Thats weird.
The logic seems to be ok. It won't allow the max to exceed the count.
And the usage of pb.update seems ok too.

    def increment(self, count):
        ...
        self.current += count
        if self.current > self.max:
            self.max += self.key_count

repofmt/groupcompress_repo.py:
pb.update('Estimate', rc.current, rc.max)
smart/repository.py:                        pb.update('Estimate',
rc.current, rc.max)

I will try to get the mysql branch and see if I can get why this might be
happening.
