What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Add object to cache using a non-string key value

2. Call cache.ram.clear(regex), where regex is valid to re.compile and not None

Exception occurs, and the web server becomes totally irresponsive. In order to view the ticket must restart server and go into admin interface.

web2py version: 1.91.6 source, on MacOSX 1.6

I have taken the liberty of fixing in a clone https://grabaumac-cachefix.googlecode.com/hg/ The problem is occuring in CacheAbstract._cache at the line if re.match(key):
