I must have imported enwiki 3-dozen times over the last

Different OS. I am running Linux with FedoraCore 5. I think its
related to
java incompatibility and/or mysql issues with Federal Core 5. The php-mysql
and a lot of other subsystems were changed in the Linux distros due to
licensing
issues with the MySQL code moving forward.
It works great. You're doing something wrong if it isn't working.
That's a stretch to say, since we are dealing with different OS's. I
have purged out
the endb database completely and I am re-running the entire mwdumper
test with Rob's
UPDATE suggestions again. The previous database had data leftover from
an importDump.php
run. After the test completes, I will post the results. I am farily
certain mwdumper has some
incompatiblity problems with the stock Linux Distributions as it has
been reported in a lot of places.
Since more people run Linux than BSD at present, it bears looking into
and getting fixed
and/or understood. I am happy to devote time to getting to the bottom
of it for Rob
and Brion.
