Any idea why this assert was there in the first place?  It looks to me like the 
code was escaping the loop on an error clause (which would explain why it was 
done in "if() break;" style,) and then asserting on that error.  If I'm right 
then why there wasn't any comments on those lines explaining the reasoning 
escapes me...  Such logic is far from obvious! :P

Note also that if there were no entries to purge (entries_to_purge < 0 because 
the above code found enough empty entries to successfully reduce the cache size 
enough,) and purge_list is empty (as it should be at this point in the code,) 
then the assert would fire.  Of course, I'm just trying to determine the 
reasoning behind the assert in the first place, and exercise my code reverse 
engineering skills. (The last few classes haven't had an ounce of real code, so 
I'm bored... :P )

PS: While you're in this territory, you might want to put some spaces around 
the subtraction operator inside the parenthesis on line 1426.  It looked too 
much like a dash to me on first glance!
