In my project Drupal (4.6.3 version) created two url alias to a unique node. Is it not wrong?

duplicated url aliases are OK
It is not wrong at all. I had no problems using it at least.

explaining more about the circumstances
Yes, it runs even so, but I think the circumstances are signs of a problem. Following I will explain with more details about this.
I had created a node (with a URL alias) and both a primary link and a link inside a left menu pointing to the URL alias of that node.
Then I resolved to modify the URL alias of the node and saved the change. I did the respective change of URL of primary link and it runs ok, but when I tried to modify the URL of link (on left menu) it didn't run. I saved the change but (it’s incredible) the link didn’t modify to new url alias data, the link was pointing the “old” url alias all time.
In the meantime, I changed the menu name as well. I don't know exactly when I did.
So I deleted that link and created a new link pointing to new url alias, but after the “save” it appeared the “old” url alias again (that link runs well because the “url_alias” table had that “old” reference).
I “resolved” this situation deleting the link (on menu) again e deleting the “old” url alias of “url_alias” table using phpmyadmin. So I created a new link and right now it runs perfectly.
I was thinking if Drupal could have a bug in those circumstances because Drupal created alone two URL references to the same node and because that link was always pointing to the “old” url alias.
Thanks!
