Hi John,

I am using version 0.97-pre-SVN-7728. I've been getting similar errors
for the past two weeks or so. Don't know if I was getting them on an
earlier version of django too.

Regarding 's', here are the local variables in force_unicode:
encoding:       'utf-8'
errors:         'strict'
s:      Error in formatting: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer,
CategoryOfVacancyLUT found
strings_only:   False

This value seems to have been passed down from some other function.
The previous entry in the traceback contains this "Error in
formatting: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer,
PrimaryLevelCategoryOfVacancyLUT found" as the value of a variable
called "new_object", which is the variable on which force_unicode is
called.

The value of new object is received on line 262 of
django/contrib/admin/views/main.py:
new_object = manipulator.save(new_data)

and "new_data" is a QueryDict containing the data I typed into the
admin interface before hitting save.

Thanks for the help,
Dan.
