Re: Issues with Wiki Dump and Garbage in page_data

THANKS for all your work on this! I moved the latest_ver,  links, 
page_data, and ver_data to a backup directory, created new empty files,
then  did a restore from a downloaded dump zip. All looks good so far with
the garbage files gone. I'll check in a few days to make sure they do not
reappear as people try to hack the system.

THANKS!

Harold
