Counter starting from threadNum?

[Max Allan]

Hello,
I wanted a counter starting from threadNum * 1000, to be formatted with
preceding zeroes to 6 digits.
(Meaning I'll have 10 threads, each thread will query content IDs from
00x001 to 00x999)
However, the counter element seems to not like having it's start value
changed in different threads. My abbreviated test plan .jmx is below. When
I run it on Windows or OSX in GUI or command line mode, I find that the
counter starts from the same place for different threads.
Sometimes it is always the same value (002000) sometimes it almost gets it
right and only one thread duplicates the start value of another.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

(I've tried :
using ${__threadNum} in the counter
using a ${__jexl2(ctx.getThreadNum())} in the counter
adding a beanshell element to set a variable "START" and using ${START} in
the counter
None of them worked, it just seems like counter doesn't like different
Start values)

Thanks,
Max
