So you do not get a `Resubmit POST content to ...' question?
Or do you mean something else with "got the source instantly"?

[1] Maximum number of documents that can be in the "cache of rendered docs"
    at one time.  Since the "source cache" only applies to documents that
    also in the "cache of rendered docs", this is also a cap on the number
    of source cache HTML docs.
[2] Only relevant for VMS.

I don't understand what bug you mean.  If I understand you right, which
I'm not sure of, there is no prompt with SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY; and with
SOURCE_CACHE:NONE, reloading is unavoidable and so there _should_ be a
prompt.

Perhaps you could make a small test document that demonstrates what you
mean.
