Oops. You're right, it's log_*_stats, rather than track_counts().
Unfortunately, the format of the log_*_stats output is not documented:
we can't remove this from the list of things that log_*_stats is
documented to print, because there is no such list. That might be
worth correcting, but the lack of pre-existing documentation didn't
seem like something this patch should try to fix.
