I noticed a problem similar to this and fixed it yesterday.  The fix
should be available on the anon CVS server either today or tomorrow.

Yes.  It was finding the first similar station and stopping there.
It was related to the new hash-table code I put in recently.  It sped
things up considerably, but was doing a incorrect match when
inserting stations into the database.  The end result was that they
were getting duplicated.

Try the new stuff, and let us know if it still does this with the
latest fix in place.  The latest stuff should have db.c at revision
1.275.  Check the top of the file for that info.
