trackers caching information for too long?

MogileFS reloads classes every ~5 seconds.  It also reloads them when
you issue a "create class" command, but it only reloads on the tracker
that actually created the class.  The others should catch the new
class within five seconds though.

The version of MogileFS you're running shouldn't matter.  It's always
been cached, but IIRC it has always expired the cache after some
period of time.

If you are running an older version, I would recommend upgrading.  If
you're not, then this sounds like a bug.  :)
