john makes a mistake

Suddenly, CommandTalk is completely out of control. It appears that
every command I send is being executed *twice*, although my traces
show everything is normal. The problem, which takes me 1/2 an hour to
figure out, is that I have accidentally gotten two copies of the same
agent running.

The sad part is, I made this same mistake about 6 months ago, and it
didn't immediately occur to me what the problem was, although the
symptoms are straight-forward enough.

My question is, could the OAA have saved me? Could we mark some
agents as being *exclusive*, so that I'll get some kind of warning or
failure when multiple agents post the same solvable to the
facilitator.
