No... you didnt do anyting wrong. I had this exact same issue. This is a known 
issue with Turcks and the alpha Horde/IMP and (while i havent been following the 
mailing list much lately) seems to be a pretty much unaddressed issue so far... 
If you setup the mmcache.php file that comes with mmcache in a protected web 
directory somewhere you can use it to admin the accelerator.  Using that page 
you can clear the cache of the accelerator. That will cure your issue but only 
temporarily.  It will corrupt again at some point.

It was someone on this list that told me about it, but when i brought it up a 
few times after that i got no response.  I'm sure the devs have their hands full 
with other issues.  It's one of those things i really hope gets fixed before the 
final release though or I might be sticking with the old IMP.  Turcks MMCache 
does a fabulous job of speeding up php and makes the stable IMP seem noticeably 
snappier. Probably Zend Optimizer doesnt have this issue but i dont have the 
budget for it.  Maybe we there is a mailing list for Turcks we should be asking on?
