It goes through each page looking for links, then for each checks all the links it hasn't seen before to see if the pages exist. In this bit was a bug where it discarded the namespace data on the stuff returned from the database; this could both put incorrect l_to target IDs into the link tables and skip legitimate links, leaving them to get stuffed into the brokenlinks table. I've fixed this in CVS to take the namespace into account. If people (in particular E23) could look it over and confirm it looks correct, we can rebuild the live tables again. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
