What i've done when i've coded this issue is to "add" a 0 value
(instead of set) and then re-run my increment function.

This way only a single server sets the value even if multiple try and
then all increment from there.

incidentally this is the same logic used to populate it in the first
place which works out beutifully.

so I'd prefer it not to wrap around
