I actually reopened it. We can't fix crashes in all circumstances, that
is impossible. We can minimise the amount of crashes by adding a length
field to the memory mapped cache, so we at least know that the file size
is correct before we do any further read on it. But if there are some
bits wrong in the cache file otherwise, we're lost anyway.
