I don't know how my cache got into this state, but I had an empty size
file:
$ cat ~/.cache/mcg/127.0.0.1/size
$ stat ~/.cache/mcg/127.0.0.1/size
File: /home/jeremy/.cache/mcg/127.0.0.1/size

This was causing mcg's Library view to crash like this:

Maybe mcg crashed while writing the `size` file at some point? I see
that it writes directly to the size file, which seems potentially risky:
it would probably be safer to write to a temp file and then (atomically)
move it. Still, it seems like a good practice to be resilient here.
After this change, here's what I see get printed by mcg:
(.mcg-wrapped:889856): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 00:37:00.045: gtk_window_add_accel_group: assertion 'GTK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
And then the problem goes away =)
