I was at first but eliminated it when I switched to 6.79.  I'm out of town
for another week or so but I plan to see if I can sort it out some time
before CQWW.  Probably read in some logs with and without the disk cache and
compare 679 to 685.  Will report back when I have time for a more systematic
approach.
