RECCOUNT() looks at the table header to determine the number of records. That could be corrupt, causing a invalid value to be returned.

Or, there is an index tag being used, so SCAN starts at the logical top of the file and the index is corrupt

Or, the table is corrupt and SCAN thinks it's gone through the entire table, when it really hasn't
