A Cornell team have developed plagerism detection software, and
applied it to arXiv. See:

Daria Sorokina, Johannes Gehrke, Simeon Warner, Paul Ginsparg.
Plagiarism Detection in arXiv. In proceedings of the 6th IEEE
International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM'06).
Short version: 6 pages (pdf)
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~daria/papers/PlagiarismDetection_short.pdf
Full version: 13 pages (pdf)

I wonder whether the software did not run recently or
did not detect this case.

Cheers,
