Hi everyone,

Aaron has been working on bug 37225 for a while:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37225

...but has hit a bit of a brick wall with the bug.  I encouraged him
to send mail to the list about it, but he's skeptical that more than a
very small set of people can be helpful on this, which is part of why
I suspect he hasn't sent mail.  Please prove him wrong  :)

The bug cropped up a few weeks ago, reported May 30.  It's hard to say
if this was a bug that was caused by a core change deployed around
that time, an extension deployed around then, or if it was a latent
bug that people just got fed up enough to finally report around that
time.  At any rate, it's been a tough one to diagnose.

I think one area where a broad search could be helpful is narrowing
down when this first started happening, and narrowing down which
deployment must have been the issue.  Since we're on a biweekly cycle,
it shouldn't be a huge amount of code that contributes to this bug.
For example, someone with enough git-fu and having read the bug
carefully enough might be able to point to a likely culprit revision.

Thanks
Rob

p.s. actually, knowing Aaron and having read the last comment on the
bug, I suspect the reason he didn't send a mail is that he seems to be
close to figuring this out.  Still, if someone narrows this down,
that'd really kick butt.
