This is very similar to the following issue, but the source file is different and it still occurs
in 1.3.2:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1600727&group_id=31577&atid=402788

In my case the server dumps the following to stderr:
Exception happened during processing of request from ('172.28.75.61', 7106)
Traceback (most recent call last):

The email that I get in that case says:
