I'm guessing here, but I think this problem can be caused by closing a file that is opened with GET_LUN with the CLOSE command, rather than by closing the file and freeing the logical unit number with FREE_LUN. (Note: FREE_LUN performs *both* actions. There is no need to use CLOSE with it.) Other programs must be checking for attached logical unit numbers is what I am thinking.
