That name for a file is only created with a flat_list cache backend, specifically when it's doing an update to an existing entry (kind of a duh there considering the name, I know). The algo is roughly f=open(tmp_update_entry) write to it close it utime it (reset mtime) rename(tmp_update_entry, update_entry) Hence the 'offhand'. Don't know if it's rename or utime that's not defined- just know that those are the only two syscalls that could sanely trigger that (failed update will trigger an unlink, but I'd be amazed if that call was missing). ~harring
