The roundup indexer doesn't seem to cope with batch
submissions. A common example of when issues will be
submitted as a batch would be when I create a whole
bunch of issues while I am working offline and submit
all of them at once the next time I go online.

I get 2 common tracebacks:

Traceback1:

----  traceback of failure  ----

How are you performing the batch submissions? Could you provide a code 
snippet?

I simply add a number of issues with my mail client while I
am offline. When I go online again all the issues in my
outbox are sent all at once. I guess the same would happen
if multiple users submit issues at the same time.

This error should be reproducable if you submit about 10 or
more issues from your mail client all at once.

Sounds like a locking problem. Yucch. I guess the instance-lock has just got 
more important.

I've implemented whole-instance locking which should fix this problem.
