[Ledger-discuss] cache bug, --no-cache bug

[timotheus <tim...@ts...>]

There are a few cache bugs that I enounter on my Linux/PPC machine with
`ledger' 2.5.

(1) ledger 2.5 release seldom updates the cache correctly, even after
modifying the ledger.dat file. The reported balances remain the same. Removing
the cache file and running again solves the issue. 2.5 cvs does not appear to
have this issue. I could not determine if this was big-endian CPU architecture
specific.

(2) ledger 2.5 release and 2.5 cvs, on any CPU architecture, both have an
issue with --no-cache (whether placed in ~/.ledgerrc or set in the
environment).

If ledger is run with --no-cache in the rc file, then the program
creates a cache file in the PWD with the name '<none>' (omitting quotes).
Ledger appears to handle --no-cache correctly on the command line, but not
when configured via the rc file or environment.
