Background: my team maintains a mirroring tool which creates new bugs in Red Hat Bugzilla by sending HTTP POST requests to invoke the post_bug.cgi script.

During testing with Red Hat Bugzilla 3.6, I noticed that a POST request which succeeds under Bugzilla 3.4 now throws back a software error under Bugzilla 3.6.

(Note that the Red Hat bug indicated in the software error still gets created; however, the error causes our mirroring process to fail.)
