Comment:

 Our initial conclusion is that the we are in good shape:  isolation is
 being done correctly.  This conclusion is mainly based on reviewing the
 ESR 38 code and the patch that Arthur rebased, along with some time spent
 in gdb with cache2 logging enabled.

 With respect to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=962334, based
 on code inspection the Mozilla people are correct: the cache entries are
 immediately (synchronously) removed from hash tables so the old cache
 items will not be returned to callers.

 Kathy and I want to do a little more testing before we close this ticket
 though.

 Does anyone know if the netwerk/test/browser/browser_cacheFirstParty.js
 tests are working when run on Arthur's ESR 38 branch? Kathy and I have not
 tried to run those yet.
