 I'm running a simple get_tags() and then looping through the tags as such:

 {{{
 <?php
 $tags = get_tags();
 global $wp_query;
 foreach ($tags as $tag) :

     <a href="<?php echo get_tag_link((int)$tag->term_id); ?>"><?php echo
 $tag->name; ?></a>

 <?php endif;
 endforeach;
 ?>
 }}}

 See how I have to cast the term ID as an int? The doing a
 gettype($tag->term_id) revealed that the object itself was storing a
 string. After checking the documentation, that's supposed to be returned
 as a bigint.
