I was trying today to sort out the [[Swedish monarchs]], when I stumbled on this page: http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Bgustav/bus+Adolphus+of+Sweden
It looks like this URL is the result of a bug during the conversion. Perhaps this is interesting evidence for Magnus? (BTW, we have a few old kings of Sweden named Magnus...)
There is a king of Sweden who's name is sometimes spelled Gustavus Adolphus, but sometimes Gustav Adolf. It seems this URL is the result of someone trying to link to [[<b>Gustav</b>us Adolphus of Sweden]], but this is just my guess.

We have traced this to a bug in the search page, where it puts bold tags inside the links before they're converted to HTML. If someone clicks one of those links, they end up creating a bad page title.
I've checked a patch into CVS to fix it.
