[Moin-user] Corrupt pages need removing

[Andy Tynan]

Hi Thomas and Eric,

Many thanks for the info, it was the kick-start I needed.
With much patience and all the usual gnu utils, I found the corrupted revisions and edit-log files and performed some vi surgery.
My use of categories and FullSearch meant that any corruption anywhere broke this page.

All working now, so thanks again!
