Hey Squiddy:

I work for Sosh and we're still on Django 1.5.9. I'm getting this bug right now and was wondering if you found a workaround for it, or if we're just SOL until we upgrade Django.

Thanks,
Alek Sharma

Never mind; you guys fixed it in 1.5.12, so we just upgraded to that instead. SCIENCE.
