This problem is likely due to the dummy projects in the database. The
code that seeds the database with these projects doesn't increment a
counter that is used to choose the project id, so when you try to create
a new project there's sometimes a conflict. What I did was hit Back,
then submit again until it worked. This won't be a problem with real
data.
It might also be that miki already fixed this bug with the dummy data,
and your problem somehow related to the jump from ops-5 to suntzu.

Yes. I've added one. You'll see it using ops-5.

I've fixed that error message and a similar one. I also figured out how
to eliminate the hostname being hard-coded in the PL-SQL and HTML files,
so you shouldn't see this problem again.
Please continue to play with it. I'm especially interested in knowing
if the modify project form is adequate.
