I haven't driven it enough to ever have to add fluid. I have replaced
the clutch end to end in the last few weeks. I replaced the slave,
clutch disk, pilot bearing, and pressure plate in one weekend,
replaced the master the next weekend, then replaced the hose this last
weekend. I haven't been driving during that time recently because of
the clutch issue (and it is not my daily driver). I may have gotten a
bad master, but I don't know how to tell. I could take the master
back to the parts store and try a new one, but I wondered if it
sounded like anything else. Especially the way the hose was slapping
against the body of the jeep. That seemed odd to me.

Any chance the exhaust is too close to the clutch line?
Any chance the exhaust or the header bellows has a (that) crack in it
blowing a stream of superheated exhaust air at the clutch line?
Any soot marks on the old parts?
Was the hydraulic fluid the right kind and out of a freshly opened
bottle? Brake fluid can absorb an amazing amount of water which then
lowers the boiling point of the fluid 'way' down.
I am thinking your clutch fluid is boiling maybe....
