rebuildall.php reports
the following wrong article count:
Be careful, there are two totals at work here:
* "Article" count, which is all pages in a content namespace (main
namespace or $wgContentNamespaces) which aren't redirects, and which
contain at least one internal link - this is what shows up as "good
pages", "content pages" etc.
* "Page" count, which is all pages in all namespaces, including redirects.
rebuildTextIndex.php is referring to all pages, since that's what it
reindexes; initStats.php counts *both* and stores them in different
columns in site_stats.
The totals might still be *wrong*, of course, but the definitions
often confuse people.

This should be documented to avoid confusing people in the future. I
will add this
description to the Data Dumps page. I restarted rebuildall.php again
after it crashed
and it appears the lockup was caused by a low memory condition -- it was
still running this morning (though
quite SLLOOOOOOWWWWWWLLLYYYY ....) . I am re-running it on a
system more free memory. This other problem appears to be PHP related. I
wanted to
check because off counters could cause aberrant program behavior.
