Dan, I certainly can say it'd be great to extend the parser test suite
with a "known to fail" switch we can add to the tests which are known to
fail.
At the developer's conference in Berlin this past spring, the void that
is current our testing procedures was a common topic of conversation.
Put simply, QA is not exciting work for most people and our
volunteer-oriented development process tends to result in very little or
often no automated Q

Sure. I'll give it a try. It would be a good way to learn more about the code
base.

Thanks. Just so I completely understand, update.php will not affect the use of
the underlying database by my personal wiki installation, which uses 1.14 (as
opposed to the test wikis I will work on during development), right?

I understand there was some issue with image generation, but I'm still
seeing a corrupt image in the main box here:

The actual image itself is ok:

Is there a hack to get the image regenerated?

Why would a reboot help? The system would still have too little disk
