We close fd if we managed to find it in the list of allocated segment lists (which should always be the case under normal conditions), but if we didn't, the fd was leaking. Close it if we couldn't find it in the segment list. This is not an issue as if the segment is zero length, we're getting rid of it anyway, so there's no harm in not storing the fd anywhere.
