     Because file handles last as long as the PSPP process.  There's
     no way to destroy them.
     
     Is there some reason that you need to destroy them early?  Can
     you explain?


In the gui, every time somebody clicks on file->open, I was destroying
the file handle, and creating a new one.  A user could click on the
file->open button an infinite number of times during the operation of
the gui.  So if there's no way to destroy a file handle, then at least
I need a way to reuse an existing one.  Ie, with a fh_set_new_filename
method or similar.
