Re: Corrupted app/tmp/cache/views/ Files

I've been experiencing this issue on two sites I have in production.
They'll randomly cause only white pages to appear, I'm running version
1.2.7 in both sites, and they're both running on debian. This issue
seems to come out of the blue, and a simple deleting of the cache
files solves it. I'd love to get to the bottom of this as it seems the
only way I find out is when the clients frantically call me.

Thanks!
