I've gotten MediaWiki up and installed over the last couple of days, and generally I've been impressed by a highly professional & good looking product.
However, I've already had a few different weird cases where pages just stopped displaying.
In the first case I had to delete the page and recreate it before I could ever view it again. Even totally emptying out the page didn't change it.
In the second case the original user couldn't display the page, non-logged in users couldn't display the page, but I could. I added a space to the end of the file, and the original user could view it again, but non-logged in users still can't.
In each case, the page just doesn't show up. In Firefox it won't go to the page, in IE it gives the familiar "The page cannot be displayed" page.

Here's what the debug shows on failure:

Here's what I see for the same page when I'm logged back in, and can thus view it:

Any help is appreciated, because I feel like I'm sitting on a time bomb now, with pages randomly becoming unviewable.
Thanks!
