Weird, I can't duplicate that on either 0.14.0 or my current working version
(which is 0.15.3 plus some minor fixes).  On the 0.15.x tree, we aren't storing
dupicate data any longer, so that shouldn't be possible.  Are you sure this
isn't a problem with just BSD .. some weird keyboard thing?  I checked the
code in 0.14.0 and I don't see anything which might cause it.

Doesn't happen in my patched 0.15.3, but does happen in 0.14.0, which is funny,
as I didn't think I fixed anything related to it :) I'm going to have a 0.14.1
out soon which fixes some of the bugs which have been accumulating.  (Hopefully
tonight).

Also, check out the really neat assertion when you do a system request on the
signon screen :)  I found that just recently.

I can't duplicate this either.
