BOUNCE db-wg at ripe.net: Non-member submission from ["Zvezdelin Vladov" <zvezdi at langame.net>]

Dear Zvezdelin Vladov,

This is indeed strange.  Since both objects were created in the version
2 of the database, it is likely that there was a bug at some point that
allowed the creation of duplicate nic-hdl in the database.  As far as I
know, this has not happened since version 3 went on-line 2001-04-23.

Thanks for finding this - I'll contact the two people with the same
nic-hdl and do what I can to help them straighten out the resulting
mess (there are 456 objects that reference this nic-hdl!).

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate
to contact <ripe-dbm at ripe.net>.

Regards,

Shane Kerr

person:       Katharina Potthoff
When you look for this person Katharina, it does not exist in normal query.
