well, they shouldn't but that's a VPS you're on.... who knows what kind of kinky storage is running under it... web2py raises that error if it can't un-pickle .table files...so it's not properly a web2py issue, more of a problem with that file being somewhat "tampered with". web2py writes to the file only if a table definition is altered...but for auth_cas table the definition is static, so in theory, web2py writes to it ONLY if it doesn't exist in the first place (i.e. the very first request for that app). However, it reads from it every time a request comes in if migrations are turned on, hence the error you were seeing, but not due to web2py, due mostly to the underlying filesystem being "not so consistent".
