Are you talking about action_replace_with_url?  No, it should create
only *one* instance of the attachment.  It works by calculating
the SHA-1 hash of the attachment and constructing a file name from
that.  If two different attachments hash to the same SHA-1 value,
either you have won the lottery fifty times consecutively, or someone
has broken SHA-1. :-)

If you could post your filter, perhaps I could help figure it out.
