Hello.

Some uses of findfirst will eat LFN find handles. See
src/libc/posix/unistd/access.c for an example that doesn't.

Guilty files:

src/libc/compat/unistd/_irdlink.c
src/libc/compat/unistd/xsymlink.c
src/libc/posix/glob/glob.c

Possibly guilty files:

src/libc/posix/sys/stat/lstat.c
src/libc/compat/mntent/mntent.c

Currently we have snippets of code like this in access.c, to clean up:

    /* Use _lfn_close_handle so we don't lose a handle.  */
    if (findfirst(fixed_path, &ff, FA_DIREC) == 0)
    {
      if (strcmp(ff.lfn_magic, "LFN32") == 0)
        _lfn_find_close(ff.lfn_handle);
      return 0;
    }
