If LIST:a is owned by entity b and has a memacl of LIST:c, and entity b is
a member of LIST:c, a recursive gaus query about entity b will return LIST:a
twice.
It looks like the code was intended to avoid non-unique responses from gaus
because of the way imembers is set up. If gaus returns a lot of results
for some user who doesn't notice the duplicates and uses the output in a
script, they might get unfortunate results.
