The problem is

#define BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN 10
...

bfd_boolean
bfd_cache_init (bfd *abfd)
{
  BFD_ASSERT (abfd->iostream != NULL);
  if (open_files >= BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN)
    {   
      if (! close_one ()) 
        return FALSE;
    }   
  abfd->iovec = &cache_iovec;
  insert (abfd);
  ++open_files;
  return TRUE;
}

When you use AR with more than 9 files, one of them
will be closed. But plugin isn't prepared to deal with it.
