I, and someone recently in here, had problems with modum overrun errors after
installing newer IBM1S506.add drivers.  I know I messed around a good bit
trying to change paramaters in the driver to fix it, and ended up going back
to the old driver, which works fine.  I wonder if this LAZY cache thing would
fix that?  Sounds like it might.
