So, you are really running on luck then.  When you disable the
cache, you are just fortunate that the necessary instructions
to do the remainder of the work just happen to be in main memory,
and that the cache was somehow implicitly invalidated so the ones
you need to get to this point aren't stale in the cache.  Are
you really sure the caches aren't cleaned up properly and this
sequence of operations isn't masking some other problem?
