No, it isn't. The CTR counter is part of the implementation; the nonce is part of how CTR is used by the application.
(the counterspace always starts at zero, but that doesn't mean decryption or encryption does
If you're not encrypting starting from a counter of zero, you're not using a stream cipher. (Most likely, you're using a block storage cipher.)
And: that's not all I'm talking about.
Ok. I was just guessing, because you're claiming that an impossible bug exists and refusing to give any details.
