Cached Manifest.xml being empty breaks website

We've had a production system down for a couple weeks now that traced back to a failing assumption in Cassette. Its _not the fault_ of Cassette, but just an obscurity that repeatedly failed to clean itself up. It all started when the site's drive filled and, it appears, the cached Manifest.xml was created as an empty file. Its off in a corner of the system with a path like : `C:\ProgramData\IsolatedStorage\u3ppbmt4.yyp\h1rm2zob.w3v\Url.e4kb21nzmyiduzdwqklmohnseoizhjuj\AssemFiles\Manifest.xml` (on my system, the hash-style values change per-server, but there are only single folders. YMMV)

I've looked at the code around reading this file and see how it handles 'Does not exist' by returning a simple false. I'd have to suggest:
a) if the file's length is zero, or some other minimal size, you should also ignore it (delete it?) and return false.
b) handle the XmlException better.
* You could catch and throw a wrapped exception naming the file (that probably exposes unnecessary system info?).
* You could catch it and write to the System Event Log that reading the file (with path) failed. Still ugly, but provides enough information for a SysAdmin to find it in a couple minutes.
* You could catch the exception, then simply delete the invalid file and return false rather then propagating the exception. I think this is what I'd recommend -- though the System Event Log could also be written.

Thanks for the consideration of this.
