Error description
Cache Monitor (WAS 5.1/tested on Windows XP) does not escape
cache IDs and cache entries.  Hence when using XML documents
as cache identifiers, the Cache Monitor output screens output
the contents as raw HTML, without first escaping the data.
This means that the contents of the cache entries are not

displayed correctly.
