- Strange phenomenon corrected where an images reference existed in the database
but the actual image file did not exist (several situations could result
in this problem from file store errors to user intervention). To reduce the
amount of file IO required to satisfy proxy requests, the DM only checked
for the reference in the database and not for the existence of the actual
image file. The DM now checks to be sure a file exists and adjusts accordingly.
