First: global cache is badness, don't use that! ;-)

Thanks for your research on the reasons for your problems. I've done some
basic attempts with using -1 or 0 on the cache timeout in one of my test
programs and it worked fine, but I have fixed one pretty serious "inuse"
counter screw-up in the cache code (and one case of cache timeout -1 not doing
right) that might be the reason(s) for your problems.

So, this bug *might* be fixed in the current dev version. Since you say you
can't build your own .DLL from this code, I don't know how to verify if this
is true or not.
