If the CRC/hash is the same, because it's a dupe, you don't have to store it 
again.

If you want to keep count of duplicate MSGID's you store those, or just a count 
of them. That's got little to do with dupe hash's...

I fail to see what's your point here. They weren't dupes according to hpt, so 
the different crc/hash's were stored.

Bye, Wilfred.
