The problem is that "{{20030401}}" looks to preg_replace like a regular
expression quantifier.  It's an unfortunate artifact of having chosen the
curly brace for the freelink character and allowing page names that are
all digits.

I've created a possible fix for this and released it as 0.4.6 --
let me know if it resolves the problem.  Basically it just does a
preg_quote() around the page name when doing the replacement in
the RecentChanges text.
