@Eberhard

no suggestion on the contrary from me that the using directive in your
suggested fix for your scenario must be the right one ...

another point that the using directive in your suggested fix must be the
right one is that file handles are usually considered as part of the
unmanaged world and so obviously the GC is going to be least concerned
about it and hence it should be the app's responsibility to dispose off
file handles after use.
