Caching Issues with ListPages & CountPages

Apparently there are some issues with the data provided by the ListPages module and CountPages module in the side bar of this wiki.

To quote from the original report:

Hey James,

Firstly thanks for this cracking snippet, it's really right up my street, but alas I've encountered a problem:

I've got several instances of this snippet at the top of the sidebar on my site all in default mode and all working perfectly. However, further down my sidebar I have a separate listpages module and several instances of the countpages module.

Now, despite my SUO snippets using only the listusers syntax (indeed, I've manually specified default mode for each of them), they stop both the listpages and countpages modules from updating for varying lengths of time (an hour to over a day's worth). The information they show remains the same even after I make new pages that should show up on or affect the data those modules display.

I tried removing it quickly to double check it was definitely the problem, and both sets of modules instantly updated themselves…

Having checked the "Important" segment of the documentation numerous times there seems to be no mention of such occurrences in default mode and nothing at all for the countpages module.

Here's the code I'm using

Whether this has any bearing at all or is mere coincidence, I've since corrected a mistake in the code where "]]" was missing from the end of the start of the second instance of the SUO snippet.

Despite that, the ListPages and CountPages modules have seen no beneficial changes, with the period of time it takes between a new page being added and the statistics updating stretching on indefinitely now, instead of only lasting around a day at maximum.

I have to manually remove the code from the sidebar, save, then reenter it to get the modules to update.

I believe this bug was caused by missing "]]". Despite that, ListPages and CountPages are generated in a queue and the time of it's updating depends on the amount of pages on Site. Also there may be a problem with the syntax itself and/or the snippet. Please contact the author of the snippet. Rejecting.

The author was the first person I contacted. He was the one who made this report in fact.

After having this problem for several months, I've extensively tested this and the results have only corroborated with my initial statements (note the bolded text in my comment above).

Whether the problem is with the snippet code or with the modules, it would be an oversight to blame it on the "]]".
