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".
