page failure on user typing duplicate tag

[atddoug]

I had a page failure when a user apparently typed a duplicate tag that resulted in a white screen with two error lines and this email sent to the admin:

SQL query:
INSERT INTO hotaru_tags SET tags_post_id = 61, tags_date = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, tags_word = 'newt_gingrich', tags_updateby = 2

PHP error log:
Duplicate entry '61-newt_gingrich' for key 1

Wondering if there is/should be logic to check the tags entered instead of resulting in a page failure?

Thanks. :-)

I get these duplicate tag errors all the time too. Has anyone found a fix?

I found a great little jQuery script that makes entering tags a bit more elegant and Bonus - it checks for duplicates. I've got it running on my hotaru site - Awesome Cream - if you want to give it a try.
