Description:

I have one (recently upgraded) wiki, A, (1.12.0) that is pulling images from a commons wiki C, (1.11.0). Going to the Image: page for native images on A works without a problem, but going to the Image: page using A for images stored on C gives the following dump:

Internal error

wfTimestamp() called with illegal output type.

Backtrace:

Looking around, File.php is calling
return wfTimestamp( filemtime( $path ) );
with a unix timestamp (11110101200871747). For some reason wfTimestamp is setting $outputtype to 11110101200871747, which of course doesn't make sense.
I tried replacing the exception throw with
return gmdate( 'YmdHis', $uts );
as a temporary work-around, and this kicked up an error on line 428 of ImagePage.php. As a final work-around I simply commented out the foreach on that section.

I will upgrade C to 1.12.0 and see if this solves anything, but the problem shows up on A.
