Hello.

I've been hit by the duplicate issue when moving to .22.

I cleaned my DB, but it was still the same.

In the clean DB file, I changed the 41 to 51 and it restored properly,
as it was checking more characters for uniqueness.

Then .22 converted its DB version without any problem.

Should I expect any ill result from this?

Thanks,
