Any old articles in the cache will be pushed into the bit bucket when
pan needs to fetch new articles and the cache has already reached its
size limit.  This happens *frequently* when downloading binary posts,
so if you haven't told pan to save the attachments you may lose some
of what you've downloaded.  I think this may be true for single-part
binaries but, OTOH, my experience has been that pan won't even fetch
multi-part binaries until I've told it where to save the attachments.

There were many significant bug fixes after 0.120 so it's important
to upgrade to avoid crashes and corrupted pan data.  Let us know if
you need help upgrading.
