Thanks.  While I am sure a quick fix is better for the end user
than not doing anything at all, I am a bit reluctant.

It strikes me somewhat odd that these close() are not tied to
the lifetime rule of the transfer_request structure.  When the
program falls back from an individual object to alternates, the
same request structure is reused, but in that case ->local stays
the same.  Otherwise, the original request structure is released
so I wonder if would make things cleaner to close ->local inside
request_release()...

Nick?
