OK, here's an obscure one: when using Amazon S3 from a home server environment with open_basedir set, you get errors when clearing the site cache:

PHP warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set

My solution to this is simply to turn the plugin off, since I don't want to clear out the thumbnails every time I clear the site cache anyway. However, I thought I'd better report it in case someone else runs into this issue and wants to actually clear their S3 thumbnail cache.
