#Disappearing Pages

I have a problem where pages within the rendered wiki become empty.  The
headers, footers, and sidepanel are there, but the body is completely
missing.  If I do a webedit and change anything (adding whitespace is
enough) and commiting the change updates the page and the body appears.  If
I then do a rebuild of the wiki from the command line, I get the blank
pages again.  I have debug turned up but I don't see anything that makes me
suspect anything.  When I do a rebuild from the command line I get the
following warning.

>Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Plugin/inline.pm line 234.

The odd thing is that I have 5 other wikis on this same system and none of
them seem to be experiencing the same problems.  The only difference seems
to be the use of sidebars and google calendar in the affected wiki.
