           Summary: link_bibs_to_authorities.pl is caching searches

It seems that the script stores the results of a search term using only the
search term - not the authority type, this can be problematic

Image A record containing both a subject and topic term:
650 _0 $aShort stories
655 __ $aShort stories

And there being an authority record for each:
Short stories AUTH_TYPE SU_TOPIC #1708
Short stories AUTH_TYPE GENRE #1709

The linker for the first stores:
$cache->{Short stories} = 1708
and the genre link then reuses this search
