I've been experiencing nasty lockups while debugging under VS2008, SP1 on my machine. I was running ProcMon.exe to try and determine what is going on. One thing I see is 100s or 1000s of repeated reads + writes to a file called security.config.cch and security.config.cch.new. What are these files? Why would my application need to r...
