Wrong finalizer in FileDescriptor

Hi Paolo,

FileDescr>>#finalize [
"Close the file if it is still open by the time the object becomes
garbage."

<category: 'basic'>
AllOpenFiles remove: self ifAbsent: [].
self isOpen ifFalse: [self close]
]

This means that if the file is not open... close will be called. Is that your
intention?
