What's the URL of the page containing the problem?

e.g., http://localhost:8000/r/3/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a new review request
2. type in a group or person, hit enter
3. see backtrace appear in emacs shell buffer...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected the group/person to be added, or to get an error about a
nonexistant group/person.

What operating system are you using? What browser?

linux, firefox 1.5.0.10, python 2.4.1, sqlite 3.5.4, django and reviewboard
from svn

Please provide any additional information below.

This happens from time to time when using the Django development server. It's nothing
really to worry about. I haven't seen it actually cause problems before. The
group/people adding problems are probably related to your existing issue and I would
bet it's related to using Firefox 1.5. At one point we had an incompatibility with
it, which we fixed, but nobody's officially tested with 1.5 in a while.
