To clarify, if you have the same hash/password there won't be a duplicate in the POT. That is to say if MD5 hash and an MD4 hash that have the same password, the hashes are different, but the passwords are the same, it will contain a "duplicate" password, but for two different hashes. If you have a salted hash, and the same password gets cracked(2 or more times), the hash type is the same, but the salt is different, which will lead to a different hash+salt combination.
