i had the problem of reoccuring threads by my bot too...

the reason was an additional space in the "title-tag"!

instead of <title>here the headline</title> there was <title>here the headline </title> in the rss-feed.

so the bot couldn't recognize, that the thread (without the whitespace) still exists.

my sollution:

find:

if (!$articlebot['lastpost'] && (--$articlebot['initialtrim'] > 0))

and just add above:

$article['title'] = trim($article['title']);

now it is working fine again!
