Description

I got a Python exception when I clicked on the first (left-most) link in the list of history links displayed at the top of the page.

Steps to reproduce

• Sorry, I didn't get it to happen again.

Below is the HTML source from the error page that got displayed

Workaround

Discussion

If you have some time for testing, try to reproduce this by creating a new instance with a new fresh data and underlay directory, and trying to visit the same pages. If you registered and account and created a home page, do that again in the new instance.
