installing RemoteUserMiddleware causes errors

I keep getting 504 gateway timeout errors on http://code.djangoproject.com/ so I can't look through the tickets for this.

There are some threads on this list that seem like they might be related; but I can't tell because they link to code.djangoproject.com which I can't get to.

I tried to follow the directions at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/howto/auth-remote-user/

Before I make the change `python manage.py test` works; I after I make the change, the test command fails with these errors:

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

This test below is django 1.5.1; but I noticed the issue on a django 1.5.0 site
