Well, that was kinda the idea. Did you verify in Transcript that it fell
back on the server cache?

As Ken said, it is built into SM 2.1 - it will fall back on the server
cache if the download from the original URL fails. One issue I am seeing
though is of course that the silly HTTP code in 3.7 takes *forever* to
time out. Sigh. I count 37 "data was late" before it decides to try the
server cache.

But if you test it in 3.8 it works.

Hmmm, just discovered that changeset 6217 has changed how
printStringBase: works (doesn't tack on the radix in front anymore)
which means that 3.8+ images will create different directories in the SM
file cache, sigh... This means that 3.7 (and older images) will not
share cache files with 3.8+ correctly - duplicate directories will be
created. And in 3.8+ there may even be collisions.

Hmmm, I wonder if the person who changed printStringBase: checked
senders in the basic image? Anyway, I am not grumpy - I will fix it. :)
