The new CloseableIteration methods that you are referring to have been
removed in Sesame-2.7.0-beta2-SNAPSHOT, based on feedback from users
(see SES-1678). After they were removed, I added the old
RepositoryResult.asList and .addTo methods back in for backwards
compatibility and deprecated them, in favour of recommending the
methods from the info.aduna.iteration.Iterations helper class.

Could you comment on SES-1702 if the bug is still there in the current
BitBucket Git repository or if the bug comes back.
