I've seen this happen sometimes over the past few years.

There's a little utility called "grubby" which has the job of creating
new stanzas in /boot/grub/grub.conf by inheriting the old default
stanza.  Maybe due to edits, blank lines or whatever in grub.conf it
loses its count of stanzas or somesuch.
