not sure whose bug it is though. In both cases they were MS Office
documents; one an excel spreadsheet, one a word doc. It may be
something weird with the way office is handling files.

Seems to me the 'easy' approach would be to just clear the cache. 

The diffuculty is that this appeared on two different machines that
belong to administrators -- and they don't like any downtime on their
systems. So, putting on the debug tools is more than just a pita...
