If you could provide a samlpe doc, that would be helpful. It's probably
too large to send to the list, so you could send it to me directly and I
could forward it, or else you could dump it into the demo or test sites:

http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/test/index.php/HomePage
(the nightly build)

http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/demo/
(is probably closer to 1.3.4)

I'd wager the database has proprietary info, otherwise I'd try to get a
mysqldump that one of us could set up and test..
