Instituting a conditional close if it detects it's being called from a
particular table, then.

*sigh*  I cannot even begin to count the ways this breaks the general
programming tenet of freeing resources as soon as you're done with them.
Every lookup alias should be treated as an entirely different resource, not
all tied together like that.

I suspect more people don't get bitten by it because people are notorious
for not using close in filePro - even when they should/absolutely need to.

Thanks for the confirmation.  :)
