   never, never, never do a changeto or an uncontrolled scan on the key fields   
   of a table.. what you get will NOT be what you expected, in many cases.. in   
   this case, you're creating key violations / duplicate records, because the   
   changes are being made one record at a time..   
      
   make a copy of the table, unkey it, make the changes, then rekey and reindex   
   when you're done..
