The most common one for me is connecting a ZEO client to one storage 
server (say a dev one) and then changing the config to connect to 
another storage server (say a staging one) without making sure the cache 
files are gone. That seems ot do it most time, and I'm sure I've got 
POSKeyErrors and all manner of other weirdness too.

My workaround is never to use persistent client caches on clients that 
I'm likely to connect to different servers. This seems a shame, I wish 
there was some kind of safety check that ZEO could do to go "wait, these 
caches are insane, they don't even apply to the server you're connecting to"

cheers,

Chris
