Hi Ed,

Yes, sorry about that. I'm seeing stale (which sometimes turn into duplicate) 
entries when I log off and on again. The symptom seems to be exacerbated by 
unclean logouts (such as when my stateful corporate firewall kills my SSH 
sessions - I don't have keepalives active at either end).

In the example below, I'm actually logged on from IP address X.Y.Z.T, the first 
two entries belong to earlier sessions that have been long gone. The pts is the 
same, and the command displayed under WHAT is mirrored for all 3 entries.
