Hi Barry,

If an account has been suspended we try not to return it either on the web or from the API. However, sometimes our caches still contain a pointer to the account so we do a last-minute check at request time and remove those users. This is also the case with deleted statuses, we won't show them but the cache still sometimes has a pointer to them. My guess would be that one of the statuses in that first 200 has been deleted, leaving on 199 valid statuses. I'll need to look into the 4 page limit, can you let me know what account you're seeing this on? Feel free to email me off-list and I'll check into it.

Using 
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?since_id=1104313400&count=200&page=
and adding a number to the end:

Whilst experimenting with pages and returned statues, I ran a little
curl script to iterate thru a few pages, heres the size of the status

1 199
2 200
3 200
4 200
5 0
6 0
7 0
8 0
9 0

So my questions are thus

Why does page 1 have 199 not 200
and can I not get more that 4 pages?
