Subj : DupeCheck bug in Squish Linux port

I finally found at least part of the bug in the dupe checker in the port of 
Squish to Linux.  I'm now testing the fix, but I'm not properly catching dupes 
yet.  This should solve the problem of calling a number of messages duplicates 
when they were not.  Basically, the MSGID read on importing messages was not 
reading the full 8 hex digits of the unique message id.  :( 

Now that I've found this one, I expect there will be a few other data errors 
that I haven't caught yet dealing with reading and/or writing hexidecimal 
strings.  If this message has an invalid Message ID string, then that points to 
the same type of problem in another part of the code.....

I'll post again once I've checked in the needed changes to the sourceforge CVS 
server.  The changes will be available from the public sourceforge CVS server 
24 hours after the changes are checked in on the sourceforge development 
server.  

Note:  I believe existing dupe information for existing databases are in error 
if you have used any of the Squish / Unix ports to date.  So, when you update 
to the corrected code, you probably should delete any existing files containing 
the dupe check hash values....

Take care.....
