      We recently faced an error during unserialisation of a .cache file (only as admin) in MDLSITE-2373. This may have been due to the file being incompletely replicated (and hence corrupt). The issue was that @unserialise() was failing at several byte lengths. This cause an exception to be thrown which wasn't handled anywhere up the chain really.

      several ideas were:
      1) verify cache file integrity, perhaps a message digest but this could be too much overhead for a caching system.
      2) change throwing exception to debugging message instead - doesn't solve but avoid unnecessary fatalism error to user.
      3) handle the exceptions in the loaders

      a patch is linked to for (2).
