I don't think that's a problem... duplicates will happen no matter what
you do. It's not a problem for bug triagers to mark them as duplicates,
and even doing that gives us useful info --- "this bug happens for N
people, so it's important".

That's very hard to do with human-written text :)
For bugzilla.gnome.org we have a semi-automatic "duplicated stack trace
detector", so that frequent crashers which are reported automatically by
bug-buddy can be merged into duplicates easily.
