Problem with remote images in Linux

[Alexander Rakoczy]

Hi!

This code block:
Shoes.app do
  10.times do
    image 
"http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/32324032/mortar_midget_bigger.png";
  end
end

does what you would expect the first time you run it.  However, if I
exit and run the program again, I see:

Shoes could not find the file /home/arakoczy/.shoes/+cache/<2 digit
hex>/<long hex string>.png

Indeed. I have checked, and the file is not, in fact, there:

arako...@snugglesworth /tmp> ls -al ~/.shoes/+cache/e7/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 arakoczy arakoczy  6 2009-02-11 13:24 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 arakoczy arakoczy 15 2009-02-11 13:24 ../

Oddly enough, it does save the image to /tmp/s3.amazonaws.com-<number>.png

I'll dig into the shoes caching code to see what I can dig up.  As far
as I can tell, this only happens on linux, and only on the latest
ubuntu, so I assume it is a 1.8.7 thing.
