I added a config option WordlistMemoryMap that defaults to Y.

The dupe-supression (when not asked for) is implied with the "load 
wordfile into memory" stuff (unrelated to mmap, this is the thing we had 
long before that. It kicks in when rules are used, for wordlists smaller 
than -mem-file-size (default 5 MB). Setting some low value like 
-mem-file-size=1 will disable it. Zero won't do, because that means "no 
limit".
