Brion,
thanks for replying.
As it turned out that it was a simple matter of running out of disk
space.
I had initially guessed that was the case, from looking at the
half-built thumbnail, but when the host admin told me that he had
increased the quota and it didn't help then I went off looking for
other reasons, didn't find any, and ended up posting to the list.
It seems that despite the quota being increased, there was a quota
lock in place that stayed until you deleted something. When I went in
via SSH to make a backup of LocalSettings.php it failed with a obvious
quota error, I deleted some old crap and bada-bing ! it all worked
again ! :-) - (sighs of relief all-around at discovering it was a
*simple* problem)
thanks everyone for your suggestions, and hopefully the archive of
this thread will help someone else in future.
cheers,
darren.
ps - all the pubcrawl photos that took over the quota limit / disk
space are up now :-)

More generally, you should have at this point already checked the
session configuration and whether you need to for instance use a
configuration such as that recommended for

If this is a public-facing wiki, you should upgrade to 1.4.12 regardless
of whether it has anything to do with this problem, as there are
security and data corruption issues resolved by newer releases.
