Thanks.  Makes good sense, now, even if I don't quite understand the
cached keys stuff.  I have some not-exactly-stable memory and... well
let's just say I'm thankful I have journaled file systems, because I end
up using those journals more than I'd like. Thus, it's quite possible
there's something screwed in the data used for unmerging.
