Jeff,

I have not totally followed this whole thread, but I thought I should 
report that on a production linux box that I help support, we get random 
failures of mapcache that require an apache restart. I have not been 
able to identify this problem and put a temporary hack of a cronjob to 
restart apache periodically but we still have the problem just not as often.

Running: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
libapache2-mod-mapcache:amd64/trusty 1.2.1-2 uptodate
libmapcache1:amd64/trusty 1.2.1-2 uptodate

So there may be an underlying mapcache issue that might not be related 
to MS4W.
