Subject: Bug with 'search duplicates' in CA4!?

I wonder if someone else has experienced the same possible bug with CA4
'search duplicates' feature as I have?

I searched for duplicates in a database of 30,000 games. I used the 'compare
game bodies' critieria.

Some 600 games were found in max dataset. These games were now marked as deleted
and then I compressed the database.

Now I ran 'search duplicates' on the compressed database and CA4 reported
another 3 games as duplicates (both in max and min dataset).

I marked the games in max dataset as deleted and compressed the database once
more. I then ran 'search duplicates' a third time ending up with 3 more
duplicates! It was not the same games, not even the same ECO code.

The possible bug have been reported to CA.
