[Mediawiki-l] Backup/Restore with large database

[beachboy4231]

I do have display_errors On, but nothing is outputted. The browser doesn't
get a 500, but rather the page source is blank. It appears that certain
pages just don't generate any source. Some do, others don't, without about a
30% failure rate.
