Trac internal error

[Edward Z. Yang]

When I posted the (attached) POST request to newticket, I got the
following error.  It did correctly add the ticket to the
database.  I've elided the form token from this.

    Trac detected an internal error:

    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Here's the contents of the POST request (my guess is that I put
something bad in the CC field):
