[Crash-utility] fd_init()

In fd_init() in filesys.c the namelist file is opened and pc->nfd is initialized: if ((pc->nfd = open(pc->namelist, O_RDONLY)) < 0) error(FATAL, "%s: %s\n", pc->namelist, strerror(errno)); else { close(pc->nfd); pc->nfd = -1; } In the event of a successful open the else clause is executed, and the file that was just opened is closed.
