Hmm. I wonder how that happened. Would you mind bisecting it? I'm guessing
it's something to do with the object_cache_file now being a nagios core
variable instead of something belonging to the xodtemplate layer (which
really shouldn't have any variables of its own).

Well, that's by design. The objects.cache should only be written to once.
Or do you mean that it gets created but is empty?

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
