Hello

Without knowing much about how you're triggering the code above, i have to assume you have a form with a submit button, that when pressed reaches the code above that i assume that's inside a controller.

Do you block the form from being sent twice in a row? That's the only explanation for such "bug".

Without a consistent way for me to reproduce the problem i have to assume the problem to be within your application, like the user clicking the submit button twice, because you don't disable the submit button.
