This example file leads to duplicate lines.
Arguably it should have behavior analogous to:
> scan(what="")
1: a b'c
3: d e'f
5: g h'i
7: Read 6 item

Thanks. Yes, quote="" solves the problem.
I would never say, however, from the documentations, that this was causing
the duplicate records. Rather, I would have expected some kind of
warning/error message.
And, yes, I knew that, through duplicate(), R solves gracefully this
specific problem. Just
The problem has to do with the quote characters in the data (R is probably
interpreting the 'minutes' and 'seconds' as delimiter characters).
With a smaller data file, I can reproduce the strange behavior.
read.table() can read the data correctly if given quote="" to disable the
interpretation
