Was del.icio.us acting up?

Last night I visited the site, and noticed that my del.icio.us links were doubled. Instead of showing 6, it was showing 12. It wasn’t the most recent 12, but the same recent 6 (tagged as ‘rpheath’) listed twice. I didn’t know what was going on. So I reloaded the browser, then I had 18 listed. The same 6 listed 3 times. I think you get the pattern. What was weird, though, as others would visit, it would increase my view as well. So it wasn’t just my browser view. So I thought maybe the @delicious_links << link line was somehow never clearing (even though I haven’t had this problem until now), and just kept building up. I made sure the variable was cleaned out before hand, but that didn’t help. At an attempt just to try and figure things out, I limited the loop to only 6 repetitions, thinking that would surely stop it no matter what was in the object. Nope. Still listed a ton of links (by that time I was up to around 84). Then I came across this updated security version of the del.icio.us API. Others seemed to be having difficulty with the way it parsed after the upgrade, so I blamed it on that and went to sleep. I thought I was going to have a headache this morning trying to figure it out, but it works now. Any ideas as to what was going on? Do you think the upgrade (even though it was updated August 9th) was the catalyst?
