I'd be surprised if it weren't.  From the changelog:

[-- quote --]
  v0.8.03
  - s/more/+/
[-- /quote --]

After trying it out, right-clicking on the address shows the
alternates... for example, I get "74.125.226.80 +4" from google.ca and
right clicking the visible address shows the 4 additional addresses (5
total).  Seems like a reasonable explanation for +n to me.

You may need to contact the bug address (jdi at l4x.org) or create an
issue to be sure; I took a look at the Google Code project* but didn't
see any mailing lists or other contact info.

All the best,
- Scott.
