Details

I noticed that nsDiskCacheMap::ReadDiskCacheEntry has two "nsresult rv"
variables and because of that it's likely to return a wrong value.

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/netwerk/cache/src/nsDiskCacheMap.cpp#559
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/netwerk/cache/src/nsDiskCacheMap.cpp#574

I believe that the second "nsresult rv" should be replaced with just "rv".
I'll fix this the next time I touch the file.  Thanks.

Another one of those - nsCachePrefObserver::Install will return an uninitialized
nsresult instead of NS_OK if no function calls that it makes fail.

The extra rv definition has been removed from nsDiskCacheMap.cpp.
Is it possible for metaFile to be >=4? If yes, then ReadDiskCacheEntry will
still return uninitialzed rv in that case.
No, it's not possible for metafile to be >= 4.  It's simply the value of 2 bits
(0-3).
