Oh, that mistake has been around for a long time.

If we were to simply replace "six" with "nine", I think the description
could still be confusing because it's ambiguous whether "between"
includes the ends.  (I would tend to read the above description as
exclusive.)

How about "nine fields between and including these two fields"?  Any
other suggestions?
