Public bug reported:

General Info:
--------------
- Mahara 1.6.4
- PostgreSQL 8.4.12
- PHP 5.3.10
- RHEL  5.8

Browser Info:
---------------
- Chrome 26, Firefox 20 (Win), latest Safari on Mac as well.

Other:
--------
Mahara is configured with clean-URLs turned on.

Description:
--------------
Saving a group after editing fails.

After submitting the "Edit group" form, the user gets thrown to an error
page. The error message reads:

    Mahara: Site unavailable
    A nonrecoverable error occurred. This probably means you have encountered a bug in the system

Apparently, Mahara is unable to recover from a failed attempt to update
a record in the database. (please see attached error log).

This only happens under very specific conditions, and seems to be
connected to clean URL mode.

To reproduce:

1. turn off clean URL mode in the Mahara configuration.
2. create a two groups (group A and group B). Observe that the "urlid" field in these records have NULL values.
3. turn clean URL mode back on.
4. open Group A for editing. Make a change, but leave the "Group homepage URL" in the input form empty. Hit the "save group" button.
5. open Group B for editing. Make a change, but leave the  "Group homepage URL" in the input form empty as well. "Hit "save group". **error occurs**
