Thanks for the patch, but I'm not sure if this is really the right solution to 
the problem. If I remember correctly, in the freedb database such entries are 
stored as hard links so it could be found by looking up either of the 
discids.

But since entries with multiple discids seems to be relatively rare, I think 
the easiest (and most portable) solution would be just to store copies for 
all the discids instead.
(So the same entry is stored as ~/.cddb/misc/9d0a830c and 
~/.cddb/misc/a30a830c)
