(This note was posted on mediawiki.org - Don't know if it's a valid bug or not,
I'm adding here so it doesn't get lost --HappyDog).

The bugsystem wont send me an email for a new account and I don't care enough to
follow through via email, so here's a bug report--take it or leave it.

In maintenance/updaters.inc in the function do_interwiki_update(). The
$wgDatabase variable is brought into scope but not passed to the dbsource()
command resulting in PHP attempting to create a new MySQL connection using the
php.ini defaults. This can be fixed by adding the $wgDatabase variable as the
second parameter to the two dbsource() calls in that function.
