Details

The cache is leaving a lot of zero-length files laying about in the profile directory. This happens after the cache has exceeded its maximum size. Old cache entries are truncated to zero bytes, but not unlinked. Each zero-byte cache file requires 4069 bytes of disk space for its inode on my Linux system. Thus, the cache will grow to 512 terabytes, even though I have it limited to 100 kilobytes. That would be bad.
