The disk cache fails to work (no more files accepted - no offline browsing).

about:cache?device=disk shows

Disk cache device
Number of entries: 	0
Maximum storage size: 	51200 k
Storage in use: 	1769480 k
Cache Directory: 	C:\DOKUMENTE UND
EINSTELLUNGEN\MARTIN\ANWENDUNGSDATEN\Mozilla\Profiles\default\axui0noz.slt\Cache

Size of the cache directory is only 3,24 MB.

Clearing the cache helped.

The problem might be caused by downloading files larger than the cache size. It
might also be caused by an aborted download (network error after about 60 MB) of
a file larger than the cache size.

I've made a copy of the corrupted cache. For privacy reasons I don't add it to
this bug, but if somebody really feels that this would help to solve the bug
please ask me.
