See note in http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia:Bug+reports/Parser
(though it doesn't actually look parser-related, so feel free to move
it). Unless somebody's updated wikiPage.php since April 2 or so, the
errors seem to be in the load() method, when processing the results of
querying the unlinked table.

Someone with access to the server logs and database may be able to get a
better handle on what exactly is going on.
