HTFileClose never called on local files

Platform: SuSE linux 5.3, egcs-1.1.2-pre2, libwww from the CVS checkout

I have a problem with using local files.  HTTP files work just fine,
but with local files I run into a problem after loading 50 files (the
result of HTNet_maxSocket() is 25).  I think the "wild socket" message
at the end of the trace below, is caused by the program running out of
file descriptors.

I've studied the trace below and found that HTLoadFile() is called for
each file that is loaded, but HTFileClose is never called(*).

Another strange thing is that the after filter registered for
HT_LOADED (which among other thing delete the requests) isn't called
until the very last load (which ends up in the "wild socket" message).

For HTTP files, the after filter is called a lot of times.

Has nobody been using HTLocal for a while?

(*)In fact grep couldn't find that HTFileClose was called from anywhere
inside the W3C libwww.
