Is it the file number counter or the actual shutter counter that's changed?

You can set the shot counter to anything by:

rename an image file on the memory card to imgp9999.dng or _igp9999.dng

sticking this memory card in the camera

power on the camera

take a picture

power off the camera

remove the memory card

rename that image file to whatever number is one less than the number
you want

put the card back in the camera

take a picture

voila!

(Haven't actually done this, but it's a logical consequence of "resets
to the higher value if there's a higher value on the card").

My current K20D shot counter value is the nicely symmetrical 3553; I
can't remember how many times the counter has been around, though; it's
either twice or thrice.  The 3553 is not an indication of relatively low
usage.
