As far as I can tell from quick testing it's not going to let a user do
anything they shouldn't be allowed to. i.e., create two accounts with
exactly the same username, email where they should be unique.

But it could result in a bit of confusion if a user thought that maybe
their account wasn't being created properly and kept registering etc.

Title:
  Registration email can be sent out more than once within the initial 24 hour period

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A user can register, and be sent emails, multiple times with the same details prior to completing the registration process from the link sent.  There are multiple records in usr_registration with only the sequential id differing.

Perhaps we need to check for a unique email in here and offer some notification to the user that the email has already been used?  

However, there is also the issue that if this initial email wasn't received it might not be easy for the user to wait 24 hours until it clears from the database to try again, or to get hold of a sysadmin to delete the record manually so they can do so without hassle so there might be extra requirements around this or this might be the reason it currently allows for multiple records.
