      <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>
