Is it okay to clone this from within the thread?

The reopen() appears to mess with AH->FH, which mutltiple threads are
calling fclose on. The second thread is going to fail and the first
fclose() will close the main threads handle.

+ #ifndef WIN32
+ if (fclose(AH->FH) != 0)
+ die_horribly(AH, modulename, "could not close archive file: %s\n",
+ strerror(errno));
+ #else

How are things failing? Core dump, maybe you are seeing the above
error? The non-windows path is safe from this because a) it never does
an fclose and b) its a fork and has its own copy of the FH.
