[Dxspider-support] Dupe time threshold changing (isolated node)

[Dirk Koopman]

set/var $DXDupe::default = <some value >= 1 hr>

It embarrasses me to say that I have forgotten why the default value for 
this parameter is 48 days. I know that we used to get loops that lasted 
several days some years ago but most of that seems to have gone now. I 
think this is a combination of PC9x protocol and rather more rigorous 
protocol checking by other DX Cluster authors. I think I can safely 
reduce this now...

The minimum could be set to 0, but it still won't have the effect you 
desire (most of the time) as the dupe deletion routine only runs once an 
hour.
