The code I have up on the new system will make that a bit better, I
think. But the best thing would be to store the contents of a bug
report in a table somewhere just to look for duplicates. We can
expire it after just a minute or so. That'll catch the *exact*
duplicates. It could catch partial ones, too.
I'll stick that on the TODO list for the new website ;)
