The contents of the expand_cache is meant to match the return value of getVarFlag() but the implementation was mostly in expandWithRefs(). If an incorrect key was passed to expandWithRefs(), or a variable was only partially expanded with no remove processing, the cache could become corrupted. Move the code to getVarFlag making the data lifecycle very clear, meaning other calls to expandWithRefs() cannot corrupt the cache. The expand_cache reset code needs to be moved ahead of any remote data connectors too, since the expand_cache is now on the local side of the connection.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
