 That may be a separate issue. Vector commands often access a database for
 attributes, which means spawning a DBMI driver. There have been problems
 on Windows which might have been caused by the DBMI driver inheriting a
 descriptor from the parent, keeping the file open.

 That isn't applicable to r.null, which doesn't spawn any child processes.
