Hmm, I can't decide if this is the right fix or if we should add a step
in processing local_startup where we run realpath on the names and
remove dupes.  I worry this is going to cause problems for 6.2-RELEASE
users post switch so something we could apply as an eratta that would
work either way might be nice.
