[Crash-utility] fd_init()

[Bradshaw, James]

In fd_init() in filesys.c the namelist file is opened and pc->nfd is initialized:

                                if ((pc->nfd = open(pc->namelist, O_RDONLY)) < 0)
                                                error(FATAL, "%s: %s\n", pc->namelist, strerror(errno));
                                else {
                                                close(pc->nfd);
                                                pc->nfd = -1;
                                }


In the event of a successful open the else clause is executed, and the file that was just opened is closed. Why?
