Its a comment line, so my guess is that the real culprit is line 178.

169 /**
170 * This is the number of seconds cached content will persist.
171 * <ul>
172 * <li>0 = always regenerate cache</li>
173 * <li>-1 = never expires</li>
174 * </ul>
175 *
176 * @var integer
177 */
178 var $cache_lifetime = 3600;
179
180 /**
181 * Only used when $caching is enabled. If true, then
If-Modified-Since headers
182 * are respected with cached content, and appropriate HTTP
headers are sent.
183 * This way repeated hits to a cached page do not send the entire
page to the
184 * client every time.
185 *
186 * @var boolean
187 */
188 var $cache_modified_check = false;
