Big problem with making cached file names unclear

Decided to delete my whole site and start over because I had the problem that a lot of thumbs and images would not load. New install of ZenPhoto, uploaded en bunch of stuff and it all worked like a charm! No problems at all.
Until I decided to check "Make cached file names unclear" under Options/Security ... and old problem is back again: at random thumbnails and images are not showing. I did uncheck that option but no luck: at random thumbs and images are still just not showing anymore :(
Refreshed database and metadata: no luck. Both in Internet Explorer and Firefox the same problem.
So, I don't know why or how but as soon as I make use of the
"Make cached file names unclear" feature, it all gets screwed up somehow. It's just the normal ZenPhoto, latest version. I did not manually alter any PHP things because I do not know my way around that.
So gonna delete it all again, will install ZenPhoto again and start all over ... and I will keep far away from the "Make cached file names unclear" feature.

PS
I will keep it online for a while so you can see what I mean. URL is http://www.3dart4u.com ... and again: this happened *after* I did check the "Make cached file names unclear". Unchecking it does not help, removing cached files is also not helping.

    Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but in de debug logs I did found a lot of these lines suddenly from around the time I did use the "Make cached file names unclear" feature. The XXX I did add myself, don't know if it can do harm to let the full address show.

    That particular error means that the PHP function `iptcparse` is failing. Presumably that is due to some metadata issue with your image.

    You can further debug this by using the cache manager to cache your images. Click on one that does not successfully cache and you may find some more information. At least you will know which images are at issue.

    Changing cache names only indirectly effects this. It simply forces the need to re-create the cached image which is failing due to that fault.
