The Streaming API will print a short text message along with errors that is often a very explicit indication of the problem. I don't think it throws 500 errors (see: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_response_codes) so something odd is going on. If anything, it is throwing a 406, as you haven't provided parameters to track.
