Re: Dumb Question #3 - open/close failures

My favorite guess is that the handle is already closed. A close call can also expose errors from buffered prints.

Check your error logs.

A close call can also expose errors from buffered prints. This can happen when disk usage limits are strictly enforced. (I.e., "You can write only this much; you can't write no more.") And, since people almost never check errors on writes, errors go undetected until close.	[reply]
