What version are you running?
ReviewBoard 2.0.6 and Note To Reviewers 1.0

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
https://server/r/45/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I had a review open, posted with rbt and filled with description on the web site.
2. I published the review.
3. I clicked on code diff to report an issue.
4. I published the review.
5. I entered additional explanation in 'Note to reviewers' field.
6. I published the review.
7. The mail of change was sent. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should present updated review. Instead it generates a HTTP 500 error. It is impossible to open the review again since it always fails with HTTP 500.
Disabling 'Note to Reviewers' extension brought the review back to life.
Please note that I had used this extension before without such problems.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
I run Firefox 31 on Windows 7. Review Board server is hosted on a RedHatEnterpriseLinux 5.9 x86_64.

Please provide any additional information below.
When HTTP 500 is thrown, an exception is logged:
2014-09-02 15:28:54,825 - ERROR -  - Exception thrown for user user at https://server:8081/r/45/
