Thank you for your work!  The old clib stuff was kind of hokey, so
improving it is a good idea.

I have just checked in your suggested fix.  Compiling with
s_clib_cache_free commented out works fine.  Also, the apps run fine
after I compile them.  I haven't stress-tested them yet,
however. . . . 

In the future, please feel free to hack/modify/extend my code.  I am
always happy to have experts like yourself improve upon what I have
started.  Indeed, I hope to have others fix some of my silly
bugs. . . .

How would that work specifically?
