Log Message:
Backport to 2.3:
If a file is opened with an explicit buffer size >= 1, repeated
close() calls would attempt to free() the buffer already free()ed on
the first close(). [bug introduced with patch #788249]
Making sure that the buffer is free()ed in file object deallocation is 
a belt-n-braces bit of insurance against a memory leak.
