duel roll

[JAMES A. LANDAU Netscape. Just the Net You Need.]

A Web news page, which I cannot locate again, had the phrase "duel roll" for "dual role".

You don't often see double-malaprops like the above.

I don't suppose it counts as an eggcorn since it is hard to imagine what a "duel roll" might be (a list of gladiators who have been assigned to single combats?)

OT:  If I remember correctly, "canola" or "Canola" is an acronym for "Canada oil low-acid"---MWCD11 says "a rape plant of an imporved variety having seeds that are low in erucic acid".
