get_category('of a string') throws an error 500

[Malaiac]

yes, it's better not to try a get_category of a string in the first place,
but it's a bit of overreacting, isn't it ?

try get_category('whatever');
should be a intval($category) inside get_category() before asking to get_term

calling that generates no error 500 in trunk... please re-open if you can reproduce, with a step by step procedure to reproduce the issue.
