It turns out to be some sort of bug in the Netscape Communicator cache!
My cache had grown to 90 Mb in size before I manually deleted the
files. Erasing the cache through the preferences menu only erased 9 Mb
- the size I had set the maximum cache size to. Odd and annoying.
Anybody else
experiencing this? Is this a documented 'feature'?
