If you're using a managed cursor you shouldn't be calling close() or
deactivate() on the cursor yourself, since the system will do that for
you. If you're not using a managed cursor and you call close() on it
you cannot use that cursor again and should make sure that you don't
have any observers registered before calling close(), and then
explicitly set all references you hold to the cursor to null just to
make sure you won't use it again. If you plan on reusing the cursor
again, you should call deactivate(), which releases a bunch of
resources, but not all of them. A deactivated cursor can't be used
again until you call requery() on it.
