Dreamhost have a fix for this problem in their Help pages:

1. Open /wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase2.php file* in your favourite text editor, where is the domain that you’re having troubles with EG: dreamhost.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase2.php
2. Alternatively if that file is not in that location for some reason you can issue this command to find it from the directory: find . -name wp-cache-phase2.php
3. Locate the wp_cache_ob_end function
4. then inside that function find the line with: ob_end_clean(); (it should be line 219 or about)
5. and finally replace that line with: ob_end_flush();

I’ve hard of this bug before but never seen it myself. It sounds as if the age of the cache isn’t being correctly handled.

wp-cache seems to use filemtime(), making me wonder if this is an issue mostly for those who use webhosts that mount their filesystem using NFS, or have some sort of file caching mechanism in place that can cause funny behavior from time to time.

You can use it in this same way until the plugin author fixes the bug.

Armen - The WP-cache is set to clear every 1 hour by default. Maybe setting it up to a lesser time of half an hour might help. But the issue of cached pages = expired pages will still occur, though at a lower page number.
