So you think this regression came into smarty 2004-02-17 (release of
2.6.2) and you are now the first one who uses cache groups and
encounters this bug?

your example works fine for me with 2.6.18 and with CVS head.

in your first mail you asked how you can debug it: use a single step
debugger like xdebug or dbg. if you cannot or do not want to use a
debugger add echo statements into your cvs checkout of smarty to trace
where the code flows and to see where it does not flow the way you
expect it to flow.
