Ah, ok.  So it wasn't truly a bug with the syncing - basically when you
sync with more than one computer it causes "slow" syncs to occur which
do record by record compare and store copies of stuff has changed, as
prescribed by the palm synching rules.  This can cause a bunch of
duplicates.

I'll investigate this Intellisynch software a bit more for future ideas.
