 * when I call wp_update_post($post) with
    $post = Array ( [ID] => 33 [comment_status]
   => open [ping_status] => open [post_author] => 1 [post_category] => Array ( [
   0] => 409 )
 *  [post_content] =>
    [post_name] => product name-product model [post_status] =
   > pending [tags_input] => accessories, collaboration, desktop, editor, knowledgebase,
   mini, notebook, server, storage [post_title] => product name )
 * if $post[ID] is set, in line 1518 of post.php, do_action(‘pre_post_update’, $
   post_ID) calls wp_update_post() again. The second time it gets called, it creates
   a new category with both name and slug set as ‘3’
