>Description:

	on one of my machines, envstat shows something like the following.
	(it's with ipmi(4).)
	as you see, there are some sensors with the same name.
	i consider it as a bug because the names are used as identifiers.
	eg. envstat -s
	the introduction of "envstat -m desc=..." made the situation worse.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	- make the framework ensure that names are unique.
	- remove the "envstat -m desc=..." functionality.
	  IMO, it's a misfeature.
