[R-sig-Geo] Closing readOGR handles

Hi folks,

I'm opening some ESRI shapefiles with readOGR.  R seems to keep open
file handles on the files opened.  Is there any way to close those
handles without quitting R?  I don't see a read-only option on readOGR,
nor do I see any close methods.  I've tried GDAL.close(x), but I get
errors saying there's no "handle" slot.

Thanks,
Allie
