While searching Google, I found that <the same exact url> is being listed twice. Once on the first page (position No. 8) and once on the second page (position No. 11).
Interestingly, enough, when I change my setting to pull 100 search results, only one listing for that url appears.
Has anyone else ever seen something like this?

[edit reason] no search terms or urls, thanks [/edit]
Interesting to note that one result I was looking at has now changed to 2 different urls and not the same url - now I see something like example.com and example.com/newpage.html. So the site may have made a change that is just now being integrated into the index, causing a temporary glitch.
It may be changing even as we post. I just did the search again and now both urls have the "newpage.html" listed. Also interesting, I don't see the "plus sign" for a map in Firefox now, but I do in Opera, IE, Safari.
There's another active thread here that mentions two results from the same domain, but they're not clustered [webmasterworld.com]. So even more now, I think this may be a Universal Search anomaly. When a vertical channel result of some kind is "force intgegrated" into the SERP, it may miss the clustering filter. That's my best guess for now.
I was thinking the same thing (Universal Search glitch) Tedster.
