>Description:
rcorder(8) doesn't provide enough sanity checking;
when you provide the same file multiple times on
the command line it just gets added to the internal
"list of filenames" and other data structures.
>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection.
I'm sure a test case can be easily consed up to prove this.
>Fix:
Detect if a file is being added again and provide
a mechanism to override the previous entry, taking
into account the other data structures that already
refer to the previous node.
