The latter. And a tweet I sent a few minutes ago with :twitter was
not duplicated. Hmmmmm.
I am running a barnowl on multics. Haven't touched it since the last
Linerva reboot on July 6. And a tweet I sent via -O twitter on the
evening of July 6, from my main barnowl on Linerva after it was back,
is not duplicated. So your theory still leaves a puzzle -- why wasn't
that one duplicated?
I take it this is a known issue? It seems unfortunate that BarnOwl
can't tell the difference between a zephyr it sent and a zephyr some
other client sent for the same user. But I can believe that would be
hard to fix.
Thanks for the diagnosis, and now I know how to work around.
