[Mediawiki-i18n] Malayalam Wikipedia special page error

[Praveen Prakash]

Hi,

I just heard about a weird error in Malayalam wikis (ml.wikipedia.org 
etc),  That special pages gave  "No such pages" messages. And somebody 
connected that to Unicode Malayalam's problematic chillu character. I 
recently changed all old version chillus to new version on translate 
wiki. New version chillus are atomic and so they are less problematic. 
We have reached some consensus on using unicode 5.1 also. Tim fixed that 
problem as soon as he informed through irc.

But still it is unclear what happened and how fixed. I think somebody 
can help.

Thanks
