You shouldn't have to worry about any DLL housekeeping with an 
external.  I expect this is DLL specific and refers to a user object or 
query object and not the DLL itself.

I'd guess you'd want to close it once at the end.

It probably makes the query once and then gives you pieces based on the 
handle and either the next position or an index.

My wild guess.
