I am looking for background information on
avoiding duplicate solutions, what causes them,
etc.

I am using the model found in lib/propria/zebra.pl
to generate a solution to a puzzle.  The solution is a list
taking the form [u(number,name,color), u(number,name,color)...]
where number and name are unique but color is not
(20 names, 20 numbers, 8 colors).

I get the correct answer, but More is indicated. 
Clicking More repeatedly gives the same answer as before. 

Code to puzzle (about 300 lines) available on request.
