[support] Wacky Drupal Cache

[Shai Gluskin]

The situation:

   1. Anonymous user clicks on link to node/1234 (recently created) and gets
   "page not found"
   2. Link works for logged in users.
   3. Clear cache
   4. Link now works for anonymous users
   5. Note: there is* no* "page not found" error written to Watchdog

This is on a D5 install.

This makes no sense to me.

Is Drupal caching the non-existence of pages?

Isn't it supposed to work like this for anon users: URL is called, Drupal
checks to see if there is a cached version. If there is, it gets the cached
version, if not, it runs the queries and builds the page from scratch.

Thanks for solving this mystery,

Shai
