i cant explain why either would work.  the current code to compute cache
fullness overflows values around 20GB which would limits this cache to
something like 16GB.  to play it safe, the 18GB is the largest cache
i would try with the 1.4.0 release.  this will likely be fixed in a
later release.

what are you trying to cache?

this value is disturbing.
