O.k. I just assumed that (iicache=in) was true since reading and 
applying the patch and _then_ this "compound" is much more stable than 
the previous versions of iicache. I.e. it does not corrupt my Netscape6 
and KDE files-in-use any more. And it really does not show slowdowns in 
applications load times at all. Maybe Dieter could report the same.

I can't say if it is faster or slower as I revised my systems' chipset 
and bus settings (hdparm, lilo->kernel and powertweak) during the last 
weeks to have an overally more common and stable setup.

Thanks for providing a usable and  applyable patch on Namesys ftp, Yura,

Manuel
