Taxonomy Error after Drupal 5 to 6 Upgrade

In my previous post regarding my Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 upgrade I stated that the upgrade went smooth.  Well, unfortunately that was not 100% correct.  After making a second post, I noticed an odd error occurring with the taxonomy entries:

Duplicate entry '0' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO term_data (vid, name, description, weight)

After a bit of searching, I wasn't able to easily fix the issue.  However, after comparing the term_data table with a clean drupal 6 install I noticed that the 'tid' field was not set to auto_increment.  I then changed that field to auto_increment and edited my last post.  And the result.... it worked!

It appears there was a small glitch on my upgrade.  Not 100% sure if it was something on my end or a bug on Drupal's end (most likely not).  I hope this post will help anyone who runs accross the same issue.
