It's possible to add a namespace which conflicts with existing
'namespace-like' titles. For instance if you add a namespace 'Foo' and
there's already a page 'Foo:Bar', that page is no longer accessible
until you fix its database entries to reassign it to the namespace.
ie, it was recorded as (0,'Foo:Bar') where it should have (100,'Bar').
I've written a helper script to automatically search for and clean up
such entries: you'll find it in the 1.5beta1 package as
maintenance/namespaceDupes.php. It should also run on 1.4, if you copy
it in.
