Well, here's one thing you can do. You can use Orca to view the merge
modules and see if you are including any of the same files as the merge
modules. This works most of the time for me, but, since I'm not an expert on
merge modules, I don't get it when a merge module doesn't list the files
it's including.
Anyway, it's a starting point.
