After update from 1.7 to 1.8 links reset to 1?

Hi,

I got the following warning with the first link I add converting from 1.7 to 1.8:

Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO GR_links (lid, url, url_md5, link_title) VALUES (1, 'http://www.trekking-world.com/', '84785ce232424e46d6b07aa3704bf73b4d', 'Trekking World') in /home/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc op regel 172.

And when I click on the link, I got the first record ever placed in the database. It looks like the links_package update has reset the record in the sequences table. And indeed {Links_lid} in my case GR5_links_lid is indeed somehow reset to 1!
I have temporarely adjusted it to change the 1 to the link-number from by database.
Thanks for getting into this!

Greetings,
Martijn
