The following error is common in the Apache log (/var/log/messages), presumably because so many pages are Unicode httpd: PHP Warning: preg_split() [<a href='function.preg-split'>function.preg-split</a>]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 8 in /home/public_html/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_QueryProcessor.php on line 805
I assume that you are using SMW 1.4.2, so the line 805 in the respective file is $list = preg_split('/^\*/',$value,2); This code belongs to the backwards compatibility feature of SMW with ancient versions (before SMW 1.0), which vanishes in SMW 1.5 (although it still exists in SMW 1.4.3). In this sense, the bug is invalid regarding the current code, since it no longer occurs there. Wikis that still use pre-1.0 features of SMW should try to convert to the new syntax (no more <ask> tags, no more Relation: namespace), and then remove the setting $smwgSMWBetaCompatible=true; from LocalSettings.php.
