Description Debbie Wilson CLA 2001-10-10 22:48:16 EDT 
The classes RegistryCacheReader and RegistryCacheWriter which read and write the
plugin registry to a cache file, respectively, do not have any error checking.  They do
not pass a status back to indicate a failure.  As a result, a failure could occur leaving
a corrupt plugin registry without anyone knowing about it.

Comment 1 Debbie Wilson CLA 2002-02-12 14:40:19 EST 
Registry caching will now fail if an unexpected byte code is encountered.  In 
this case, a null registry is returned.  It is assumed that the cache is 
corrupt so the entire registry will need to be re-read.

Fixed.
