Hii alltogether!
I am a newbie to CIVICRM, but managed to install it and adjust whatever needed adjustment.
But....
..when I try to add a new role to the system, I am always rejected with this error:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

I am running Drupal 5.7, CIVICRM 2.05 and MySQL 4.1.22.

Can anybody give me a clue, where is my mistake?
