It's the other way around. The RFC says,

  "Each chained logical bitstream MUST have a unique serial
   number within the scope of the physical bitstream."

So it's illegal, but likely to occur occasionally. So I guess it
depends how hard you want to try. Bisection search should find
anything but adjacent repeated segments.
