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