Try logging the exact url that was requested each time - I had a
similar problem a while ago which was due to an incorrectly formatted
image tag - I just had
<img src="img/something.png" alt="" />
On the /customers/login page this would end up generating a request
for
`/customers/login/img/something.png`
which was processed through the login action of the customers
controller, resulting in the method being called twice for each page
request.
This was driving me nuts until I looked at the actual request logs and
spotted the strange url.
