Hi @holmpage
The issue you're experiencing is identical in every way to an issue we fixed in an earlier version. I've read the thread above and it looks like you aren't sure which version you were running and you haven't had the issue since updating. If I misunderstood let me know, but if not lets wait and see if this occurs again.
We haven't had any other reports of this issue since we fixed it. The problem we had previously is that we were misreading the file size of .htaccess under certain conditions due to a quirk in PHP (caused by the stat() cache) but that has been fixed and we've had no reports of this since.
So let me know if the current version causes the same issue.
Thanks.
Mark.
