Transcripts get fetching in `tiles', generally 1MB long.  If a
transcript overlaps the boundary between two tiles, two copies
of it get fetched.  This ought to be sorted out internally, but
unfortunately an equals method was missing, so they were slipping
through.  If you use the CVS version of biojava-ensembl, I *think*
this was fixed last week (but I haven't actually tried it out in
anger yet).
