Just so this doesn't spur on a round of 'what's with the duplicates?',
I've talked to Arne,Chris Watson and Mike Koppelman about the issue, and
the dbase will be 'de-duplicated' in a short while. The duplication
results from the mass pull-in of stars from several dbases, where each
used somewhat different (or in some cases imprecise) coordinate systems
in their catalogues. Bottom line is that if two stars show up under
different names and are within few arc-sec of each other, then they are
generally the same star with rare, but existent, exceptions. This is a
bit annoying, but only a temporary problem.
