Redmine

I added a custom field and applied it to a single tracker (I have multiple trackers in my redmine installation). It was a text field, no min/max, regex, or default value. When I subsequently added items to that tracker, the system would throw a '500 internal server error'. When I looked in the log to see what was going on, and saw where in the issues_controller it was happening, I realized it might be the custom field, so I removed it, and now the tracker works again.

FYI, not sure it matters but I'm running redmine under lighttpd/fastcgi.

I grabbed the following from the log while doing some troubleshooting:
