Bug alert!? LOAD_FILE files are kept open.

It seems that when I do an UPDATE or INSERT query which uses a LOAD_FILE assignment, the file referred to in the LOAD_FILE call is not closed when the loading is finished, but is kept open by the MySQL server for the duration of the connection.

As you can imagine, this can be a serious problem when a program has to do many LOAD_FILE operations, as an extra file gets opened each time, and never closed until the end of the session.

Has anybody else noticed this, and know if it is a recognised bug? I am using MySQL 4.0.13.
 
Sorry, false alarm!

It was a bug in my program. Apologies to the MySQL people for casting aspersions on the fruits of their labour!
