Yippee! This stopped the error. Whew! Odd that it didn't happen on
2.3.
Whatever.
One wonders, how many times do you guys have to tell me to stop mixing
file descriptors and file objects? I guess this was old code, before
you told me that <-- weak excuse.
Having the __del__ doesn't seem to hurt anything, which is a relief.
There are times when I want to call close_up() and not __del__ in my
real code.
