While looking at the duplicate authors issue, I've noticed that there are a
number of author records which aren't indexed (ie you can find them in the
dump, but not using the online search).

Additionally, the LC Bot appears to be creating identical duplicate author
& works records.

For example, these two works are identical

   http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16669673W/Gerdas_Tageb%C3%BCcher
   http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16669674W/Gerdas_Tageb%C3%BCcher

as are these authors:


http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL7138299A/Gerda_Margarethe_Oestreicher-Laqueur

http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL7138300A/Gerda_Margarethe_Oestreicher-Laqueur

and neither author record shows up in this search:

  http://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=Gerda+Margarethe

I don't know how extensive the problem is, but it needs cleaning up.
