A very little bug (?) in the search results presentation

I think there is little "undocumented feature" in the
pages that present the results of searches in the OEIS.
Just in case someone is interested, here is a step-by-step
way to reproduce this strange behaviour:
(for simplicity it is referred to a specific search, but
it is common to any search, I think)
1) go to the blank search page:
http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/?blank=1
2) insert the search term:
Crux
and press "Search".
3) It should say "Displaying 1-10 of 19 results found.".
Click on the right of the yellowish TOP bar to display page 2 of the
results.
4) Now, go to the BOTTOM yellow bar, on the right, and this time click on
the "1" page link. (bottom and top bars behave differently).
5) Now, if you look at the top and bottom yellow bar, you will see
links for pages 1,2, and 3 (which should not be there, since
there are only 19 results).
6) If you click on the BOTTOM bar on the links for page 3, and then again
for page 2 still on the bottom bar, you'll obtain links for pages
1,2,3,4,...,11...18!
