Mike,

Depending on what you mean by a "single file", only hardlinks could
cause that.  For the purposes of node modules, though, a hardlink is
indistinguishable from another copy of the file with the same
contents, since it's only the parsed JS that matters.

The point is that the resolved (ie, fs.realpath()'ed) file is the key
in the module cache.
