	Just luck that you got a zone transfer before, you must
	not have been upto date.  There are no changes between
	8.2.2 and 8.2.2-P5 that would have stopped it as it never
	worked.  There was no test to see if the cached file
	had been removed.

	A plain reload would have also detected the missing cache
	file.
