Hi Folks,

I am receiving an obscure TemplateSyntaxError (Caught an exception
while rendering: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, long
found ) when rending a ModelForm that has a foreign key back to a
specific table.  My template  correctly renders forms for all models
except for this one case and I have not been able to figure out why.

AssetForm correctly renders fields on its own.  The problem occurs
when rendering the RackForm which has a foreign key to the Asset
model.

Other models have foreign key relationships and those fields are
rendered correctly. The only clue I have is that the model giving me
trouble, Asset, has an unsigned IntegerField of length 12
(Asset_Number).  See below for model information:


class Asset(models.Model):
    idAsset = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    Asset_Number = models.PositiveIntegerField(max_length=12,
verbose_name='Asset Number')
    class Meta:
        db_table = 'Asset'
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.Asset_Number

class Rack(models.Model):
    idRack = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    SerialNumber = models.CharField(max_length=135)
    RackLocation = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=30)
    Vendor_idVendor = models.ForeignKey(Vendor,
db_column='Vendor_idVendor')
    Facility_idFacility = models.ForeignKey(Facility, null=True,
db_column='Facility_idFacility', blank=True)
    Asset_idAsset = models.ForeignKey(Asset,
db_column='Asset_idAsset', max_length=12)
    class Meta:
        db_table = 'Rack'
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.RackLocation


class AssetForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Asset
        exclude = ['idAsset']

class RackForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Rack
        exclude = ['idRack']


Template Snippet with the error:
18       <table>
19      {% for field in form %}
20      <tr>
21      <th>{{ field.label_tag }}{% if field.field.required %}*{% endif
%}</th>
22      <td>{{ field }}{% if field.help_text %}<br>{{ field.help_text }}</
br>{% endif %}</td>
23      {% if field.errors %}<td class="myerrors">{{ field.errors }}</
td>{% endif %}
24      </tr>
25      {% endfor %}
26      </table>

Django says that the error is occuring at line 19, but I have not been
able to figure out why.  Any ideas?  Like I said above, this template
works just fine for most cases.  The only case that gives me problems
is when rendering the RackForm (which has a foreign key to Asset).

Thanks in advance for the help...
