I've been staring at the Augeas documentation[1] and I'm not sure if
this does what you think it does.  Actually, I'm not sure _what_ it
does when it is called a second time.

I think it would be better to call $g->aug_init(path, flags) here
instead.  This should close the old handle and reopen it (see [2]).

(CC'd to Lutter for advice).

Rich.
