No, its not a ClanLib bug, its simply like this:

If you want to access the data from a surface provider you have to
lock() it, once done you should unlock() it, since it will load and
unload the data from file if necesarry. Since loading it can/could be
a performance issue, the data stays lock() for all the time. Which is
not a memory hole, but not really nice programming praxis either.
Well, if this lock() thing really brings anything or not has to be
tested.
