Hi!

Has anyone seen this happen before? It seems once in a while (very rare and only seen it twice ever since SeaMonkey (SM) v2.0 final came out) on my updated, old Windows XP Pro. SP3 PC.

about:cache shows something like this (restarted SM2 from this one):

Listing cache entries from disk cache devices for about:cache?device=disk showed something like this:

What happened to my entries? My visitation history looked OK (remember visited pages up to 8 days and 6,000 pages). I use 512 MB for my disk cache (I know its limit is 8,192 entries since I have never seen go it higher).

If I tell SM to clear its disk cache and I surf, then things are back to normal.

Is this a rare bug? I am not sure how to reproduce it yet. I know it is very rare and I assume crashes have to be rare. I have not seen this problem on my old 32-bit Debian/Linux box (don't use its SM2 much) and almost a year old 64-bit W7 HP office PC (SM2 likes to crash a lot -- seems to be related to Flash). However, they use small cache sizes (e.g., 150 MB). Is it maybe 512 MB too big? I set it high because my Internet can be slow. :/ I do download and surf the web a lot as a net addict. ;) I am going to try 150 MB to see if that still happens.

Thank you in advance. :)

Do you really need a disk cache?
I have mine set to Zero. None.
Along with cookies erased each session and history set to zero days.
