Hmm, and why does the FAQ-#6 say:

  SWAPOUT means the object has been saved to disk.
  RELEASE means the object has been removed from the cache.

Is the FAQ in need of an update in that area? The RELEASE tag is logged in
store_log.c as called from store.c:storeRelease() (with RELEASE), which is
called from various other sources, among the http.c, featuring the comment
"delete object when not used" in the line calling storeRelease(). Also,
immediately after logging the RELEASE msg, the file is given to
storeUnlinkFileno(). It looks to me as if RELEASE really signals the
removal of the file from disk.
