 > Kathy and I did some testing on macOS; it would be great if someone
 could do some independent testing. One simple test is to replace the
 binary bits of a 8.0a10 install that is in a bad state due to this bug and
 then restart. The startupCache should be removed and life should be good
 again.

 Works here and the patch looks good to me. Adding some folks for a second
 pair of eyes...
