I cannot get from that page that you are adding these things, only 
adding object, key unique; (the debate that this is not smart and should 
be object,key,value is outside the scope of the discussion now, if 
presented that way it can be a serious improvement to allocate a table 
per key, no i am not joking)

Never the less, I asked Dave if he checked in the MySQL database if the 
presented violators are in there or if this is a hypercube issue. I 
would like to have a reply to that, because then it might be an issue 
that should be addressed by more people.
