So do we not want close functions to do grub_error() at all?  Seems like
there may be some cases where we want to know there was an error closing
a tcp socket or the initrd?  Maybe not, just want to make sure before I
go make these two functions void. 
How can a failure occur in close routines? What can we do with the failure anyway?
Thanks,

Josef
