 '''Scenario'''
 We have two urls:
 * http://example.com/category/category-name/
 * http://example.com/category/category-name/category/category-name/

 The second URL above has the '/category/category-name/' portion of the URL
 repeated.

 '''Expected outcome'''
 * When visiting http://example.com/category/category-name/category
 /category-name/ the displays a  404 page as it's not a valid URL.

 '''Actual outcome'''
 * The page with the same content as http://example.com/category/category-
 name/ is served when visiting http://example.com/category/category-
 name/category/category-name/
