Summary 08702: kram, kram2, sdungeon, sdungeona, zookeep, zookeep2, zookeep3: Auto-incrementing coin counters on boot
Description When running a game, the coin counter numbers in the machine's cfg file will increase by 1 on each start up even though credits are not being added by the user.
Steps To Reproduce 1. Run any of the affected games.
2. Let the game run for a little bit, just don't add any credits.
3. Exit the game, go to your cfg directory and examine the game's cfg file. The coin counter numbers should be at 1 now.
4. Run the same game and repeat step 2.
5. Repeat step 3, and the counters will now be at 2.
Additional Information kram3 (unemulated protection) and zookeepbl (bootleg game) aren't affected, hence why I didn't just make the report "and clones" for everything.

Example kram2.cfg after 2 runs, no credits added:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

        <counters>
            <coins index="0" number="2" />
        </counters>
    </system>
</mameconfig>
