235625 - Downloading file larger than disk cache size causes problems

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 229984

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[J.Pietschmann]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

I've set disk cache size to 100000 kB and downloaded a 105000 kB file
(http://www.isi.edu/~koehn/publications/europarl/v2/de-en.tgz linked from
http://www.isi.edu/~koehn/publications/europarl/)
Although files are stored in the disk cache after it had been erased by the
download, they are not retrieved from the cache. Shutting down the browser and
restarting causes the content to be reloaded.
The about:cache "storage in use" is weird:
> Disk cache device
> Number of entries: 	576
> Maximum storage size: 	100000 k
> Storage in use: 	3148675 k
Windows claims 32MB (it being roughly a 1/1000th fraction is a coincidence, the
"storage in use" doesn't change despite files being added continuously to the
cache).
I vaguely remember I had the same or at least simlar enough problem with Mozilla
1.4 some months ago.
Clearing the cache manually is not enough to fix the problem. The about:cache
doesn't even display anything afterwards.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set disk cache size to 100000k
2. Download a file larger than 100000k via HTTP.

Seems to be a duplicate. Why does #229984 show up high on searches from the
bugzilla entry page but not on the 200 most relevat results as displayed from
the bug entry page?
