Error inserting lead

I am trying to create a new lead from inside an Apex Controller. For test purposes, I am simply running the following code:

insert new Lead(LastName='Smite', Company='Acme');

This works fine when run from an execure anonymous window, but when it runs in my controller I always get:

System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION, invalid parameter value: []
Error is in expression '{!createLead}' in component <apex:commandButton> in page prospects

Why would this be happending? I have no triggers or workflows defined. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

can you post your controller method code ?

also can you try changing the line to

Lead l = new Lead(LastName='Smite', Company='Acme');
insert l;

That basically is my entire method now. Here it is:

public PageReference createLead() { 
    	Lead l = new Lead(LastName='smith', Company='Acme');
        insert l;
        System.debug('New Lead Created');
        return null;
    }
