Backlinks don't add up sometimes. Why?

    Sometimes when I check the big 3 for bls I'll get something like this... Results 1 - 10 of about 90. Then when I click on page 8 or 9 it shows maybe a total of only 30 results. So where are the other 60? When I check "repeat the search with the omitted results included." sometimes that doesn't account for the larger number. Why do the search engines sometimes show a greater number up front then what is actually listed. Is this a sign of things to come? data center issues?
    Thanks.

    I've noticed this with MSN only, I assumed it was teething problems, though I've never seen it on any of the other searches.

    I've noticed it with MSN as well, but they have taken to only showing a sample of the backlinks anyway. Things work fine for me in google and yahoo.

    Google doesn't do it because they start out by cutting out most of my links. :eek:
