• Bug 10797 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

The metadata cache entry for this image contained a bogus entry, triggering a fatal error:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot access property started with '\0' in /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.5/includes/filerepo/LocalFile.php on line 114

The breaking point is where the cached values are poked back into the object:

foreach ( $cachedValues as $name => $value ) {
        $this->$name = $value;
}

The bogus entry had no name:

return $wgMemc->get('commonswiki:file:0b94e4b5bc7078e5bb837a6110c79610');

array(11) {

["version"]=>
int(4)
["fileExists"]=>
bool(true)
["size"]=>
string(4) "9529"
["width"]=>
string(4) "1330"
["height"]=>
string(3) "700"
["bits"]=>
string(1) "0"
["media_type"]=>
string(7) "DRAWING"
["major_mime"]=>
string(5) "image"
["minor_mime"]=>
string(7) "svg+xml"
["metadata"]=>
string(0) ""
[""]=>
NULL

}

Looks a bit odd, eh.

Clearing the cache entry got the image and pages using it working again, but I don't know what would have caused it originally. Possibly a bug, possibly random borkage.

Assigning SVG bugs to Ariel -- need a cleanup pass to see what's fixed up by a librsvg upgrade, what can be resolved with fixes to our font configuration, what can be fixed on our end, and what still needs to be pushed upstream.

does not seem as if this has re occured in the past 3 years. closing as worksforme.
