As usual, you must get and look at the corresponding traceback.
It will tell you where "__str__" is inappropriately used.


If the error is generated from your "standard_error_message" (what
you might call "standard_error_html" -- Note: it is very important
to use the precise names!), then it may not be that easy to
get the traceback. In our Zope copy, I have introduced a log
call in case "standard_error_message" raises an exception to get
at this traceback.
The place for this measure is in
"OFS.SimpleItem.SimpleItem.raise_standard_error" (or similarly named).
