This behavior is due to the following code:

%            /* Sanity check: If the obtained number of disk cache files
%             * is larger than the number of available (4k) disk blocks, we=
're
%             * doing something wrong. Fail hard so we can fix the bug inst=
ead
%             * of silently hiding it like before */
%
%            if (cacheFiles > (cacheBlocks - INFOSZ) / 4) {
%                fprintf(stderr,
%                        "%s: ASSERT: cacheFiles %d  diskblocks %d\n",
%                        rn, cacheFiles, (cacheBlocks - INFOSZ) / 4);
%                exit(1);
%            }

The contents of the cacheinfo file and the command line used to invoke=20
afsd seem of particular relevance.
