Does the error message change to something useful if you replace ShowError by DisplayError in the line the error message points to?

Only security fixes still go on the 2.16 branch. If you still want to use 2.16, try upgrading to 2.16.10 first.

I can confirm the error on the tip of the 2.16 branch...

Comment 4

...which makes this a WONTFIX bug.

It happens if you enter too many groups. The fix is to replace ShowError by DisplayError in editproducts.cgi.

OK, makes more sense, because I was unable to reproduce using the latest 2.16 version (updated today via CVS).
