This will be problems.

We MUST have a reference counter on all cache entries and dereference the
entry when we don't use it anymore. The cache pruning should then not prune
entries that are being referred.

This is not done right now, why this will have a minor risk of failing.
Especially if you set the caching time down to 1 second or so.

Thanks for your heads up Jacky!
