There is no problem with capturing output of die_error, nor there is a
problem with caching error pages (perhaps transiently in memory).

The problem is that subroutines calling die_error assum that it would
exit ending subroutine that is responsible for generating current
action; see "goto DONE_GITWEB" which should be "goto DONE_REQUEST",
and which was "exit 0" some time ago at the end of die_error().

With caching error pages you want die_error to exit $actions{$action}->(),
but not exit cache_fetch().  How do you intend to do it?

*How* die_error_cache() gets called back from die_error()?  I don't
see any changes to die_error(), or actually any calling sites for
die_error_cache() in the patch below.

Errr... isn't it removed in _preceding_ patch?  WTF???

Why do you need to lock here?  A comment would be nice.

Grrrr...

But if it is here to stay, a comment if you please.

Why not

  +	local $| = 1;

Closing file will unlock it.

So die_error_cache would not actually work like "die" here and like
die_error(), isn't it?

Why not 'print <$cacheFileErr>' (list context), like in insert_file()
subroutine?

Callsites?
