I fixed this in SVN with this revision: http://liferea.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/liferea?view=rev&revision=3766 Solution will be released upstream around next weekend with 1.4.15. I've tested the change for effectiveness with the cache files you provided some mails ago. I'll monitor it for stability some more days... But I think the change is not very intrusive, so it propably will be ok. Regards, Lars
