Summary: redirect.py fails to gracefully handle protected pages
Initial Comment:
Apparently, when redirect.py encounters a broken redirect which it can't edit, it
stops processing further entries on the list. For background, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Double…
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Guettarda&diff=1304…
The code should be fixed to gracefully skip such pages, as apparently some other parts of
pywikipedia already do.
(It would also be nice if redirect.py could be restricted to only process pages in certain
namespaces, but that's for another bug entry.)

r4611 tries to catch all potential errors and proceed with the rest of the
list; please update this if errors continue.

Actually, it does continue to handle redirects - just sometimes, the HTML
source will be posted in the terminal window, which tends to be messy and
annoying.
