Hi...

        Before I go and place a bug report, I wanted to see if anyone else has 
this problem.  Cache size is supposed to be 100MB. 
 
In config.xml:
        <section key="Cache">
                <value key="MaxMegs" type="n">100</value>
                <value key="FlushOnExit" type="b">1</value>
        </section>

        However, this value is not respected:

address@hidden rassilon]$ du -h ~/.pan/data/cache
495M    /home/rassilon/.pan/data/cache

        To me, this seems similar to bug #81464, from 0.11.2.  Before starting 
Pan, I removed all files from .pan/data/cache, so all of these have 
come from the current session.  (Should have completed while I slept...)

Workaround:
        ln -s /drive/with/7GB/free/ ~/.pan/data/cache

Suggestion: 
        Allow explicit configuration of Pan's cache directory (separate from 
the whole data directory), like The GIMP does.

        I'm going to do more testing before (re)opening a bug report, so I 
thought I'd solicit comments from you folks... anyone have the same 
problem?
