I patched our cobbler, because in cause of a cheetah error it returned
different output for rhel5(mod_python) and rhel6(mod_wsgi). Now, we shall get
500 with the error in the response body in both cases.
On WebUI for these cases - I removed the 'Download Kickstart File' link,
displayed an error message and changed the error backgrond to make sure the
user notices the problem.
Let me know if you still would like to make some changes.

Right, this is the behavior I know since my first tries with Spacewalk
kickstart profiles. I mean it's because of the templating feature.
You either have to escape the dollar signs or have to put the dollar
containing code into the #raw..#end block.
