Yes it was 10.d on the long list.
We keep roman for frontmatter. Now pdf has correct numbering
(My acroread under Windows works really fine)
(My acroread under Linux is a little bit ugly, it computes and shows
also the global numbering :-( )

It  would be wrong to number the pages sequentially from 1, abandoning  long-established practice with documents.  And at least on a Mac,  both Preview and Acrobat both display the correct page number and  will goto that page (including going to "xi").  Before we fixed this,  those display programs did not know how the pages were numbered, and  just (incorrectly) counted forward from one.  Now the document meets  standard page numbering conventions, and the PDF display programs are  aware of the true page numbers.
