updated to calibre 2.5 crazy results now from count pages plug in

so I upgraded from ( i think 2.3) to 2.5 I now get results like 155,916 pages from the count pages plug in. I have not changed any other settings, the plugin is still set to use the ADE page count method.

If I rerun on books that already have sensible page count values I get these huge numbers, so i'ts not an issues with a specific book or two.
so something in the latest 64 bit calibre must be affecting the plug-in ?

I will go look for a re-download of 2.3 so see if the issue goes away.....

update.... so before changing the calibre install I tried a couple of other things.
1 restart calibre - no change to results
2. change algorithm selection in plug in, then change it back again.... no fix there either

but then I looked more closely at the plug in settings & saw that it was proposing to use the same custom calibre column (pages) for both a page count & a word count. I set the word count column to blank & all seems OK now.

but as I did NOT upgrade or tweak the plug-in at all at anytime in the last few months, I am still thinking something in the latest release needs to be looked at. the only deliberate change that I have made today was to install the new calibre version. can anyone else reproduce this ?
