I found this problem in the current maps.  Two sites named "george":

The only site `george' listed with the UUCP Mapping Project is the one
located in Texas.  AT&T no longer provides full map entries for its internal
sites.  If you're merging the Project's data with old files that list
AT&T's internal sites, you'll have to remove duplicates from those old files
on your own.  We no longer maintain copies of those old files.  The only map
entry that AT&T currently provides us with is the one found in the
d.usa.oh.1 file.  If you want to see the data as we see it, just throw away
those old files.  If you're keeping the old files around just for content
value, you probably don't want to merge them in when running the files
through pathalias.  If you do actually want to merge everything together,
well, you've got a local maintenance headache.....
