Yes.  I started with your example C program, and filled things in
from there.  We have the capability of running through a lot of files
at once, displaying them all.  We finish each one before starting on
the next.  We're multi-threaded, but not in the map reading/display
portion of our program.  The datasources get closed and all objects
that I can figure out that we malloc'ed, get free'd when we're done.
