It turns out that this feature does not work properly with Emacs 21.  
Everything is fine in Emacs 22, and also in XEmacs.  In Emacs 21, if 
(part of) the checkboxes are hidden through outline, they will not be 
correctly taken into account for the calculation.  Very likely, I am 
not going to fix this for Emacs 21 (because is is not so easy to do), 
so if you want to use this feature, this might be a good time to get 
your Emacs 22 CVS version.  It is very stable already, and I can assure 
you that you will not regret upgrading.
