Thank you, guys, for reporting an testing, but it seems the simple problem
to solve requires a lot of changes to be done without regressions
(this fix on fix makes a regression to those who have cache enabled), which
means that for now I propose to revert it (or drop) if possible, Mark,
what is your preference?
