I am in the visiting-the-doctor-and-pain-is-gone stage ...

I still was not able to get my test machine damaging the swap.state file

I am still loading the cache_dir and so fare I have 2Gigs in there and the
rebuild is some seconds only. No reset or kill did it, I tried every
couple of hours.

That brought me to check my startup scripts which I haven't touch since
long time and I am not using the -F option. Since my production caches do
have considerable size and the rebuild is up to 2 minutes and some big
caches need 4-5 minutes I start thinking that the swap.state mess has
something to do with that I am not starting with the -F option.

What do you think? is it possible that the problem is hidden here?

If I am not able to make it happen here on my test machine til monday
morning I will sacrify two production caches and restart one with -F and
the other not and under incoming request load. Then we'll see.
