 *      Fails immediately if the cached object is at the correct address
 *      but is of the wrong type.  This happens if the caller doesn't know
 *      what type of object is at the address and calls this function with
 *      various type identifiers until one succeeds (cf., the debugger).
 *
 *      Robb Matzke, 30 Oct 1997
 *      Keeps track of hits, misses, and flushes per object type so we have
 *      some cache performance diagnostics.
