if this is a timing issue, then that should be addressed. if your diagnosis is
correct, then if pagecache would slept until the event loop were running,
that would fix the timing problem.
maybe something like
int eventdawn; /* set after event loop is fired up */
Image*
cachedpage(Document *doc, int angle, int page)
{
static int lastpage = -1;
static int rabusy;
Image *im;
int ra;
+ while(eventdawn == 0)
+ sleep(1);
