I felt this is ok as we have mentioned in function header too

 It works like this: for every 33 nextval we will get log_cnt as 0. So
for 33 * 6(198) log_cnt will be 0, then for 199 log_cnt will be 32 and
for 200 log_cnt will be 31. This pattern repeats, so this is ok.

These are handled in the v20240729 version attached at [1].
