It appears to have stopped now. I am wondering now how this has 
occurred, because it should not happen. Perhaps other eyes than me 
should stare at DXProtHandle.pm lines 1474 -> 1514 and maybe tell how I 
can keep on receiving the same PC92 and then *not* throwing away the 
duplicate (which is what *should* and otherwise normally *does* happen).

Because, just right now, I can't see it.

The fact that all these nodes seem to be running Lee's stuff is 
irrelevant, the fact that the deduping mechanism in my code does not 
seem to be 100% reliable is, to say the least of it, a worry.
