[nsp] eBGP multihop - how to count?

Dear all,

When I have 2 routers connected back-to-back and eBGP peered with their
loopbacks, eBGP can only be up with eBGP-multihop >= 2. However, when
these 2 routers are connected via another router, eBGP can still be up.
E.g.:

 Router A <--- eth ---> Router X <--- eth ---> Router B

eBGP between A and B's loopbacks can be up with eBGP-multihop = 2.

Isn't it "3"? How is it calculated?

Thanks.

Regards,
Chris
