First of all, sorry for the mess in this report, but to this day nobody has tried to reproduce this problem in detail. All I have are dozens of people with this problem on the MixMods server help channels, a very few logs, and very few examples of corrupted cache folders.

I found this by searching for "modloader cache" on the MixMods server. If you want, search for it too to find things firsthand with more context. However, a corrupted modloader cache is becoming common enough that countless people are simply guessing as the reason of a crash but not being right.

I don't have exact details, but it seems to be something related to merging data files, and probably .ide files. Simply deleting the cache folder solves the issue.

The problem seems to occur in a completely unexpected way. No specific step has been identified as causing the problem. And it's probably caused by different reasons, as the crashes seem to vary a lot.

I mean "corrupt" in the sense of invalid or any other problem causing game crash or "Runtime Error!" message.
A possible solution could be to add more validations so that the cache is disregarded and a new one is generated.
