How to reproduce (with roundup 1.0.1, tried for both
sqlite and anydbm):
1. start demo
2. add a new status 1234
3. create an issue with status set to 1234
4. Try to copy the issue
-> you will get an index error (see attached traceback)

The error will disappear if you rename status "1234" to
"1234a" or any other string that cannnot be converted
to integer. 

I found this in our customized tracker where we have
project names that are numbers most of the time (but
not always so that they are stored as string).

Attached is a patch that seems to solve this issue (verified
for demo-tracker. Please review! 

The error seems to come from
roundup.cgi.templating.lookupIds(). Raising and catching an
error for nearly every entry is not very clever. Maybe there
is a better way for solving this problem.

FYI - My patch breaks a test :(

Revisiting the code I do not think that the problem can be
solved easily at all. Lookup by key or id can never be
compatible if a string containing an integer number is used
as key and the id is also a string.

Since this issue is set to resolved I am curious about the
solution in the code.

While the solution checked in solves the problem it causes a
test failure (just like my patch). Thus I've set status back
to "open".

no test failure anymore with roundup-1.1.1
