Certain pages cause the bot to jam
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Go to the submit-a-bot-job page
  • Enter a list of articles including one or more of a certain group of articles; I haven't been able to find what these have in common, but here're the ones I've run across so far:
    • Elbert Guillory
    • Al Matthews (actor)
    • I Wanna Be the Guy
    • Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters
    • Daufuskie Island
    • Meridiani Planum
    • SSh-68
    • Young Sherlock Holmes: Red Leech
    • Marika Kōno
    • Russ Heath
    • Diana Wynne Jones
    • E (PC DOS)
    • The Winter's Tale
    • IBM PS/2
    • DELTREE
    • Adobe FrameMaker
    • Jumper (2008 film)
    • Format (command)
    • Reverse-Flash
    • Zarina Screwvala
    • Maltitol
  • Submit

What happens?:

The bot processes all the pages in the list up to (but not including) the first one from the aforementioned group, and then stalls, not progressing further even after a few days.

What should have happened instead?:

The bot should've just gone through and processed the whole batch job.
