Error description
Under certain conditions, Synergy will set the timestamp of a static cache file to 0. This has been observed in when the same object is bound in multiple projects that gets reconciled (synced) at the same time by a user in the ccm_admin role. This can cause a race condition when accessing the object's cache file as it might be updated from multiple threads at more or less the same time, causing the time stamp to be set to a null value. Running as ccm_admin is key to the behavior, since it treats static cache files as if they were modifiable and causes extra permission-setting operations to be performed. Running work area reconcile or sync operations in a role other than ccm_admin should prevent this race condition.
