I've been encountering this same problem. It's gotten so bad that
we've decided to lock the database until a fix can be uploaded (or if
we have to downgrade the system). I reported it on the SourceForge
site, and now I'm told that I need to have MySQL 4 or newer.
Unfortunately, because my site is hosted on a shared account with a
company that I've discovered has very very poor service (never, ever do
business with
www.gisol.com!), the likelihood of the database server
being upgraded to MySQL 4 is practically nil.
So, am I going to have to just downgrade my system to the old 11/18/03
version, and back to the image-deletion errors that I specifically
upgraded MediaWiki to avoid? It would be most annoying if we had to go
back -- so any help in avoiding this problem would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan Carlson
