Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I've tried to use ediff-select-hook to execute some specific action when I
select a new difference.
When I select the next/previous difference ediff-select-hook is called twice,
AFAICT it seems as if it's called in ediff-unselect-and-select-difference for
the new and the old diff.

The following code snippet executed in *scratch* buffer

--- snip ---
(setq select-calls 0)
(defun ediff-test-select-hook ()
  (setq select-calls (1+ select-calls))
  (message "ediff-test-select-hook called %d times" select-calls))
(add-hook 'ediff-select-hook 'ediff-test-select-hook)
--- snip ---

shows after next/previous-difference in *Messages* buffer:
ediff-test-select-hook called 1 times
ediff-test-select-hook called 2 times


I got around this by modifying (in ediff-unselect-and-select-difference):
          (or (eq flag 'unselect-only)
              (ediff-select-difference n))
to:
          (or (eq flag 'unselect-only)
              (let (ediff-select-hook)
                (ediff-select-difference n)))

that may not be a good solution, but it works for me
