  I may have found the problem. I run Apache in a chroot-ed jail, and  
when I strace'ed httpd and looked at what happened just before the  
duplicate INSERT occurs, I see a read call to /proc/loadavg. I guess  
that is used to seed some random generator? As it doesn't exist, it  
probably reuses the last value - causing the problem?

I mounted /proc inside the jail and the problem is solved - but that  
isn't how I want to run it. I can't find the code that would be doing  
this, can you point me in the right direction so I can hack my way  
past this? Perhaps all that is needed is for whatever call is failing  
to fall back on something else; timestamp, pid, whatever?


Thanks
