[ZODB-Dev] what could cause this kind of cache corruption?

Hmmm, like I said, I do this often and have never had problems before.

However, I suspect the difference-that-makes-a-difference is the 
persistent cache files. With non-persistent cache files, iirc, the files 
are stored in /tmp as temp files under unique names, so this kind of 
problem can't happen.

Can anyone confirm my guesswork?

cheers,

Chris
