 so does OGR hold open ''all'' files in the dir, even unrelated filenames
 to the shapefile layer? how about same layer name but .sqlite or .db
 extension? (ie unknown to the shapefile format)
 I would not think that you could fopen() a dir in Windows, holding the
 rest of the dir hostage.

 can anyone reproduce this?
