Is this an easy test to do i can probably set you up an account on my  
machine or can check for you.

I just did a quick google to see if these issues were happening in  
openbsd. Not sure if this is related but they implement 2 different  
caching schemes one for R5 and 1 for R10-16. Wonder if its worth  
installing openbsd and seeing if they have fixed the issues and if so  
trying to find out how they did it.
