Initial Comment: when opening files via the "open" patch on the fly in pd, it fills up the memory until it can't open any new files anymore, and even doesn't allow u to save the patch, due to no memory available anymore. experienced the problem with pix_multiimage and pix_film under the following working specs: os: winXP Service Pack 3 PD: pd-extended ver. 0.40.3 gem: gem 0.91-3-W32-i686 imagetype: .tiff with alpha video: .avi

Message: could be as simple as using _close() instead of close() on w32; have to check when i get back to a w32 machine

Message: afaict, this is a file handle leakage bug with open_via_path(): it seems like it is impossible (on w32) to close a filehandle opened via this routine; see http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2009-04/013437.html for a bit of discussion on this

the problem only occurs on w32
