OK. I suggest Vect!__open_old() and Vect_open_new() should initialize all
file pointers to NULL and Vect_close() should close anything that is not
NULL.
These changes should IMHO first be done in trunk, then backported.

... on the first run on Windows when using the wxGUI. BTW, it '''does'''
work for me just fine on Windows using the !TclTk GUI.

will be removed once there are no more links and no process has it open).

IOW, if Vect_close() is called before the files are to be removed.
