ABRT duplicate detection - is it for real?

[Karel Klic]

Hi Christoph,

there was a flaw in the duplicate detection (undiscovered for a long 
time) that allowed to file that duplicates you received.

It has been fixed.

abrt.spec:
* Mon May 03 2010 Karel Klic <kklic at redhat.com> 1.0.9-2
- fixed crash function detection (a part of duplication detection)
