I receive log information from a large number of computers.
Syslog on some machines is broken, and instead of adding a note to the
effect of "previous message repeated 271 times", it will include all 271
seperate log messages.
I don't need to see all of these.
What's the most efficient way of filtering lines that are repeated more
than <n> times? If I was trying to match specific text, this would be
trivial, but as I'm trying to match *any* repeated text I'm not sure how
to proceed.
