cannot view article text -- new-style find broken?

[Dan O'Huiginn]

As in previous bug, this is based on a bzr checkout from launchpad.

I've been testing with the dump at http://download.wikimedia.org/wikimania2007wiki/20100529/wikimania2007wiki-20100529-pages-articles.xml.bz2 -- just on the basis that it's small and in English

No article text is displayed, either when I enter an (existing) article title in the box at the top, or search for an article and choose one of the results. I just see an "Article Not Found" message. However, if I modify the code to force use of old-style find, the article is displayed OK.

Showing my code modification to force old-style find, and so make articles display. Obviously this is just a crude workaround, but should help you locate the bug:
