Django 0.95 on Dreamhost

[Apple]

Hi has anyone tried running Django 0.95 on Dreamhost?  I only tried to
setup a simple project following the dreamhost's wiki.  I am getting a
string index out of range exception on common.py:

I have installed Django and flup through easy_install and set up fcgi
support as Django doc has recommended
(http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/fastcgi/#running-django-on-a-shared-hosting-provider-with-apache).

My project was named flickr, and I use sqlite3 for the simple test.  I
have also followed closely to Django's recommendation for setting up
fcgi on shared hosting (see above link).

Does anybody why I'm getting this strange error?  Thanks in advance for
all your help.
