[texhax] Hyperref pointer misses the correct page

[Alan T Litchfield]

Further,

I have tried the following approach:
1. I add the counter \newcounter{hyperfixer} into the preamble
2. I add the target \refstepcounter{hyperfixer}\label{theLabel} into the 
text
3. I reference the target with \hyperref[theLabel]{\pageref*{theLabel}} 
somewhere else in the text.

Page numbers are linking and displaying consistently now.

The problem seems to be that \refstepcounter{hyperfixer} is 
indiscriminate. While the page numbers are now correctly linking, 
section numbering is affected. That is, a section (e.g. 8.3) is 
displayed as 109 instead of 8.3 because, I think, it is the 109th anchor 
in the document. However, it links to the correct anchor. Garrrgh.

Fix one, break one,...
