Not sure if you refer to Tom's pointing at bfd/cache.c and its

/* The maximum number of files which the cache will keep open at one time.  */
#define BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN 10

which possibly negatively affects performance in GNU/Linux but it closes only
bfd->iostream, not bfd itself.  The problem of this mail thread occurs due to
bfd->section_count changes.  Therefore I find it as an unrelated issue.


Thanks,
Jan
