Thanks for your suggestion!  As I'm not a very good sysadmin, I tend to just use Debian as-is since 
it usually works well.  But I realize being out of date is one cost of using Debian over other OS' 
(of course, Debian testing is an option).

After my first post, I kept trying to use Google to find the above error message.  On the next day, 
my own post was on the first page of Google.  Started to make me feel that this error doesn't happen 
all too often!

I'll look into upgrading MediaWiki, then.  I looked at the information on upgrading and I guess I 
can do it...  :-)  Thank you for your post and confirming that it doesn't seem like I missed 
something obvious!
