Oops. Yes, you're right, I had set it to t, since I wanted ticked and
dormant articles to be cached (if I read the manual correctly, only
articles explicitly marked with '*' are cached when the cache is
passive). I'll reread the manual a couple of times... I still think
the manual is a little bit misleading when it says that a persistent
article "just won't be deleted", though.
