 I create a blog, and a taxonomy of categories. [[BR]]

 Let's say that one of them is Internet (with any slug you want, ie:
 internet-89).[[BR]]

 Then I add some posts over the blog, and some post is in the Internet
 category.[[BR]]

 So, now, I enter a new post, on any category, which contains the term
 "Internet" as a tag. [[BR]]

 When the tag is created, the category Internet is destroyed and replaced
 by a number.[[BR]]

 ---[[BR]]

 I have tracked down the problem over the code.
 The thing happen on wp-includes/taxonomy.php in the wp_insert_term
 procedure. Specifically on this line:[[BR]]

 if ( ! $term_id = is_term($slug) ) {[[BR]]


 At this point, $slug contains the sanitized name of the term.
 is_term returns the id of the category (Internet, remember?), instead of
 nothing, or by signalling an error. After this, the filter term_id_filter
 is called and the global_terms procedure does the damage to the
 category.[[BR]]


 In my humble opinion. the is_term procedure, should be called as:
 is_term($slug,$taxonomy) thus separating "category" and "post_tags".[[BR]]


 Greetings and thanks for the support.[[BR]]
