+How can I automatically limit the amount of debug logfiles that are stored?

+
+Use the tmpwatch command. Create a file in /etc/cron.daily/ containing the line ...
+

- cd /spider/data

- issue the command perl user_asc

- restart the cluster

+What has probably happened is that the dupefile has got corrupted in
+some way. Simply delete the /spider/data/dupefile and restart the
+cluster. It may take a little time to become fully functional but
+should solve your problem.
