for the records: phpwiki-1.3.7
lib/WikiDB.php:729: Fatal[0]: <br 
/>/var/local/home/groups/b/bi/bibdesk/htdocs/wiki/lib/WikiDB.php:729: : 
Assertion failed <br />

getCurrentRevision()
$version = $cache->get_latest_version($pagename);
$revision = $this->getRevision($version);
=> assert($revision);

So this is a database corruption.

I would recommend to dump all pages, delete (or rename) the database, 
and then import it again.

Or find the offending version in the recent table and fix that in your 
database.
Explanation:
$version is obviously a wrong latest non-existing version integer.
Find the pageid for this page, and fix the latestmajor in recent to the 
latest existing version of this page.id.

For the future: Without any explanation what and how this corruption 
happened we will not be able to fix it.
