du: forgets to close files when multiple arguments

Hello,

I have gnu coreutils version 5.0 installed on both sparc-solaris2.7 and
i686-freebsd, and I noticed that when I pass several arguments to du, it
keeps plenty of open files, which produces an error on solaris due to the
lower limit on the number of files you can keep open at the same time.

If I try for instanceĀ : du * in a repertory containing many files,
truss shows many open(".",options) whithout the corresponding close.

Could you please do something about thisĀ ? (I don't really have time to
investigate right now)
