It might be possible that, in some extreme scenario that
I just cannot now construct in my mind, end_seq <=
frto_highmark check does not match causing the lost_out
and LOST bits become out-of-sync due to clearing and
recounting in the loop.

This may fix LOST-bit leak reported by Chazarain Guillaume
<guichaz@yahoo.fr>.
