Are you having this problem, when adding or editing item record in the
Intranet interface (also known as "staff client"?). If you are, and
since you say you're running Koha 3.0.2, it seems to me that you were
hit by the following bug:

Bug 3520 - crash when adding or editing item record
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3520

The good news is that this bug has been fixed in Koha 3.0.4 that was
released on 21 October!  :)

You can check this by reading the Release Notes for Koha 3.0.4, that
are available at:

http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob;f=misc/release_notes/release_notes_30004.txt;h=44318a6cd1dd6c9dec388f544daaadfdfb27442a;hb=2eba46985bb67eadf7fe896dbe50df4d995e03a5

In that "Release Notes" page, in the section "Exhaustive list of bugs
fixed follows" you'll find, among many other bug fixes, the following
line: "3520 fix crash when adding or editing items".

So, my advice would be for you to update your installation to Koha
3.0.4, and see if that solves your problem.

I hope that helps.
