The point of my last comment however was that when a feature has a bug that's this critical, a big hammer (disabling/removing the caching or whatever) is generally the right solution unless/until someone is familiar enough to fix the problem on a more detailed level. It's a shame that there's been a release with such a critical bug (and anything that corrupts random open files is critical) left unfixed and even unacknowledged. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
