Bah. The problem here is that unlike all the other Cache backends, FastMmap
won't store anything that isn't a reference.

This has been reported before (by merlyn, no less); I believe he sorted it
by creating a decorator for Cache::FastMmap that made it behave sanely.

Ideas, workarounds and patches welcome.
