+        * lread.c (Fload): Don't leak the file descriptor returned by
+        openp if we are going to signal an error.
+
         * w32.c (sys_close): If FD is outside [0..MAXDESC) limits, pass it
         directly to _close.
         (sys_dup): Protect against new_fd larger than fd_info[] can handle.
