Getting tons of error message - no symlink for .beagle/TextCache??

[Johann Petrak <johann petrak chello at>]

I am getting tons of error messages running beagle 0.2.16.3
under Ubuntu Feisty.

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path
"<Home>/.beagle/TextCache/86".
  at System.IO.FileStream..ctor (System.String name, FileMode mode,
FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean anonymous,

It seems this happens because I have a symlink from
.beagle/TextCache to /somewhere/else/TextCache because
when I remove that link, I do NOT get these messages.

Why doesn't beagle allow a symlink here? I do not want the
large .beagle files in my home directory but I DO want the
config files in my home directory.

This looks like a bug to me ....

PS: why doesn't beagled support an option "-version" or similar
to determine which version is installed? Or simply show the
version when -h is used?
