well, it means that you can't 'unsuppress' a duplicate that hasn't been 
recorded yet.  it will try to delete the oldrecorded entry, mistakenly 
thinking thats why its marked as a dupe.  i do definitely think that it 
should be displayed the way this patch shows things though, it makes so 
much more sense to me, although i think we need to differentiate between 
a scheduled duplicate and a real duplicate.

i've been trying to go through the permutations today, and figure it all 
out.  i'll be out of town most of the week though, so won't be back at 
it till probably next weekend.
