Thanks for the reports. I have investigated the logs and asked the
author of ViewMTN what the problem might be. As it turns out, you get
a "500 Internal Error" if you send a request to ViewMTN while someone
else, at the same time, is using the monotone server (over netsync).
The monotone server locks the database and ViewMTN cannot read from
it.

So, the simple solution if you see this error message again is: try
again a few moments later.

I may try to find the time to reduce this annoyance but I make no
promises. This problem is quite minor after all.
