That's what I had in an earlier version, but then there's no code to free the allocated entries, and I am too lazy to write the deallocator.

Either way the effect is the same. The trivial amount of memory used by the entries are not reclaimed, but the VM will exit after a finite amount of time anyway, after the cache creation is finish.

I thought intercepting it here is a bit cleaner and avoids the awkward question of freeing the entries.
