19263	Filtering __in a sliced queryset with a 0 limit raises an error	chkwok@…	Marcin Biernat	"I've noticed that after upgrading to Django 1.4, `__in` queries really don't like empty sets. Simple queries still work, like `User.objects.filter(groups__in=[])`, but most failures I've seen are with Paginators. I think this is the minimum set to cause a DatabaseError, create any app, add a models.py with:

{{{#!python
from django.db import models

class Author(models.Model):
    pass

class Book(models.Model):
    author = models.ForeignKey(Author)

def crash():
    from django.core.paginator import Paginator
    
    pages = Paginator(Author.objects.all(), 25)
    page = pages.page(1)
    
    books = Book.objects.filter(author__in=page.object_list)
    print books
}}}

calling crash() will cause this stack trace:

{{{

      7 books = Book.objects.filter(author__in=page.object_list)
