 all file pointers to NULL and Vect_close() should close anything that is
 not NULL.

 That won't help if the problem is being caused by the DBMI driver
 inheriting the descriptor and not terminating before the file is deleted.
 I don't know if this is what's causing the problem, but there appear to be
 cases where it can happen.

 How come?
