When I generate a Google sitemap it doesn't appear to be complete. After I click the link "Generate Sitemap Now" it proceeds to generate the map. It tells me it is processing a batch of 50, then goes to another identical page, then it returns to the "Search Engine Optimization Settings" page. It doesn't tell me that it is done or what the address to the Google sitemap is.
After receiving some error messages about the Google sitemap in my webmaster tool area of Google, I took a look at the file map.xml and saw that some of my links were missing from the Google sitemap. Started investigating trying to figure out why. Have discovered only the first 50 of the links in my directory are listed. After discovering this, I hid a few to see what would happen. The hidden links did not display on the Google sitemap, but some that weren't showing before did, bringing the total of links to 50 once again.
The categories seem to be OK and all that should be listed are. The listings for the categories are in addition to the 50 I mentioned earlier.
Any idea what I need to do to fix this? I've searched the forums, but wasn't able to find anything discussing this problem.

This is fixed in 5.1.17, which will be available about an hour from the time of this post.
