I received a bug report from a device which failed to download new dives after a reset (probably caused by an empty battery). This reset appears to reset the internal dive counter back to zero, and also resets the write pointer back to the begin of the logbook ringbuffer, but leaves the existing logbook entries in place. The result is that the logic to find the most recent dive based on the highest internal dive counter, will be wrong because it finds those old entries. The discovery of the logbook (and profile) write pointers eliminates the need to search for the most recent logbook entry.
