[Dxspider-support] DxSpider problem

[djk]

If one has a problem with a dupefile, and it does happen, rm 
/spider/local_data/dupefile and restart the node.

I have no idea why it happens, but I suspect it is the default 
serialisation mechanism that perl uses which used to cause endless 
corruptions on the user file. I will see if I can eliminate its use 
throughout the program.

I have complained to the perl maintainers but I suspect they would have 
the same view as me: much too infrequent, intermittent and not testable. 
Meh.
