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.
