Hey Brian, Thanks for pointing that out. Wish someone had let me
know through the Lucid cycle :-)
I didn't realize that could muck with the duplicate checking, but I'll
change behaviour appropriately.
So Mark, don't do as I mentioned (at least WRT to teh subject line in
a bug report. Follow Brian's advice instead) :-)
Cheers,
Jeff
