Understanding fdi cache invalidation

Hi,

I've just pushed hal 0.5.9rc1 in Mandriva cooker so we could have a not
too old version of Hal in next Mandriva but I'm not sure fdi cache
invalidation is working as expected (or at least, how I think it should
work) :

currently, if .fdi files are modified, it is correctly detected by
inotify and hal knows it will have to rebuild its fdi cache
"15:37:06.475 [I] device_info.c:1016: invalidating fdi cache"

But if I do "lshal" after that, I still get the old cache content
and /var/cache/hald/fdi-cache is still the old version.

Am I missing something ?
