[Wikipedia-l] Recent changes page logging seems broken

This might or might not be related to the problem F. Lee Horn pointed out
on the wiki today:

I've noticed that I made several edits, today, that were not logged at all
in the Recent Changes page, even though mine is the most recent edit.
For example, right now, I'm the person who has most recently edited [[The
rationality of atheism]] as you can see on

http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=history&id=The_rationality_of_atheism

but on [[Recent Changes]], revision 12 made at 9:52 PM, by 64.71.228.xxx,
appears.

I've idly puzzled about this several times before this.  Ugh.  And you
know, for such an active day as today has been (and it really has been,
you know, if the referrer log stats are correct), we have had relatively
few edits appearing on [[Recent Changes]].

This really is a problem that needs to be solved, because we're apt to
have more traffic if some news organization writes up the press release,
and we've got to be able to monitor the new folks (to say nothing of the
older folks :-) ).
