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): field_summary=Turn+on+SplitSections+by+default field_reporter=ezyang field_description=This+is+a+general+tracking+bug+for+what+is+blocking+us+from+turning+on+`SplitSections`+by+default,+implemented+in+#8405.+Fixing+this,+and+mandating+use+of+the+gold+linker,+will+help+solve+#11285+(split+objects+make+linking+slow),+and+will+make+ghc-split+unnecessary,+mooting+#9832.
