Subject: duplicate addresses appearing in .addressbook

One of our users is seeing duplicate entries of SOME (most)
but not all of his entries in .addressbook.  He is the only
user who has experienced this happening to his .addressbook
file.  He is also the only user who has configured pine so that
his .addressbook file is in a subdirectory of his home
directory, a directory he has called "mail".  Has anyone seen
this phenomenon before?  We are running pine 3.91 on a
DECstation 5000/240 with the Ultrix 4.3 operating system.
Any suggestions or pointers as to how this could happen are
welcome!   Thanks for any info.

An inadvertent

  cat .addressbook >> .addressbook

would do it.  Shouldn't matter where it is located.
