My patch doesn't cleanup the cache. It just suppresses the use of the
cache for host name completion.

The (file) cache expires due to remote-file-name-inhibit-cache. Likely
you use the default value, 10 seconds. This is independent of my patch.

I'll polish it a little bit, will push it later.

Best regards, Michael.
