Hi
In the debug messages below, you can see that a pf request (0x5c40) is
skipped because it is already in cache. However some ticks later, a read
request for 0x5c40 is missed in cache.

The CacheRepl flag is on, but in the meantime, the block containing 5c40
has not been evicted from cache.

So What happened to that block?
