Comment:

 You're really not getting this, are you?

 Yes. It emits a DNS failure message. Then it retries. It does this exactly
 twice. On the third attempt, it successfully resolves the host name and
 downloads the Blogger metafeed. We know this because it returns data from
 it! Data that it can only know by resolving it!

 But it only reads metadata from the first blog in the metafeed and the
 header of the second. After the header of the second, it returns crap. Not
 an error message - it just sets the counter to "0/ ".

 If it was doing a GET per blog ID for metadata, it would only return
 ANYTHING for the first blog (if that one worked). Then nothing, or perhaps
 a DNS or HTTP error message.

 But it doesn't. It returns correct metadata for the first blog, then wrong
 metadata for the second, and then fails silently.

 Also, I see no reason for the version change. I'm running 3.2.1. I updated
 this morning.

 Now, the branch in #14525 doesn't exhibit the problem. It gets the
 metafeed with all 6 blogs and correct counts, and it will even start to
 import content. It fucks up after the first 25 entries, but that's another
 problem.

 Note that #14525 is a ticket about....inserting funny characters during
 the parsing process.
