There has been a continuous problem that the counter:CheckStatus function

called from the status task messed up count processing. This has now been
resolved in this way:
- A new function ReadStatus and  a lastStatus filed have been added
  to the countable interface.
- CountTaskFunc updates the lastStatus field.
- ReadStatus just returns that field.
- ReadStatus is now being called by the status task.
