Railways have devices called "axle counters" that count up how many train axles have passed by$,$ and helps decide if a train has fully passed part of a track.

However, because of a bug in the design of the axle counter logic, a train that has exactly $256$ axles will result in a count of $0,$ and its existence will be ignored. Thus, trains that run on these buggy railways must have less than $256$ axles.

What is the most likely cause of this bug?
