 When each of the URLs below are visited, the exact same content is
 displayed each time. Would search engines see this a duplicate content?

 {{{
 example.com/support/
 example.com/support/2/
 example.com/support/3/
 example.com/support/4/
 example.com/support/5/
 }}}

 Note that when I visit a page such as
 {{{example.com/support/kyathhaggfa}}} where {{{kyathhaggfa}}} is garbage,
 I get a 404 page. This is the behaviour I would expect to see when a digit
 is appended to a page or post URL.

 Interestingly, I don't see the issue happening on tag pages such as  the
 following:

 {{{
 example.com/tags/soccer/
 example.com/tags/soccer/2/
 example.com/tags/soccer/3/
 }}}

 This issue was originally raised at BuddyPress Trac but further
 investigation has revealed it to be happening on WordPress too.
