Meanwhile I have to say that it's not only not useful, it simply doesn't
work reliably (when using XMsg). I found a bug inside the current WarpOS
implementation which leads to the message body not beeing correctly
invalidated. I will correct that and will sometimes do a new release
(minor step, maybe 4.1).

Particularly the partial cache flush (using SetCache) doesn't work
correctly. If anyone uses the partial cache flush explicitely, he should
consider use a full cache flush (start and length set to zero), this
works correctly.

bye
