Subject: memory leak after unloading of ca.lib

Hi there,

when your project (e.g. LabVIEW) uses dynamic loading and unloading of
channel access classes your main class will sometimes (at 64 bit nearly
always) crush with a segmentation fault. The reason seems to be missing
free() and delete functions in EPICS Base 3.14.12.6 (I'm sure this
applies also to other EPICS Base versions).

I wrote a tiny test case to check it and it would be great to get any
advise to solve the issue.

Best regards
Carsten
