Well, it reported 92,948 for the camera in question...so I think that means it goes over 65k, right?
Yes sure
But after reading

I belived you where 60.000 off
It would be interesting to compare what ExifTool reports on Mac OS X compared to what CS2 gives (i only have CS1 & it doesn't appear to report the shutter count on either of my Macs; MacBook Pro & Dual 2.5Ghz G5).
Open it and open a recent jpg. file from your camera. Make sure to take it as a jpg rather than convert from raw. You will see the exif data. Scroll down to a line labeled Unkown(0093). The third number is the shutter count and the second number is the rollover count. Rollover occurs after 65535 shots. Just multiply the rollover count by 65535 and add the shutter count. In the example below, you can see 0 rollovers with a shutter count of 2818 on referenced line.
So does this mean my 20D has rolled over 16,985 times and I am on 115?
The validity of that second value as the "rollover count" is suspect ... I've owned a 1D Mark II where the value was 1 but I was almost sure it couldn't be ..and in your case it's an impossible value ... I feel those 16 bits are getting "dirty" some way, maybe some overwriting or something...
