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):

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. :)
Clearing a cache may not be instantaneous, so it may be marked 'full'
while the clearing occurs - WAG.
Well, I did wait a while, restart the web browser, etc.
