Thanks for sticking to the topic and polishing it further.  Looks
very good.  

Will replace.

Very minor point but by not using pre-increment, i.e.

		if (seen_exclusive_status++)
			goto found_duplicate_status;

you can use the expression as a "have we already seen?" boolean,
whic may probably be more idiomatic.

The patch is good in the way written as-is, and this is so minor
that it is not worth rerolling to only update this part.

Thanks.
