Hi Javi,

Thanks for your comments about this issue!! I think you have traced very 
well the problem (or one of them) and I agree with you that it seems 
there is a bug in the SHP data provider, not closing all opened files.

I'm going to create a new bug ticket in the gvsig-desktop tracker, using 
your information and Wolfgang's.

Regards,
