Summary: posixfile __del__ method is wrong

Details: The posixfile __del__ method attempts to close the
file (_file_) it contains.  However, if the open
method fails, then _file_ is never assigned.
The solution is to modify __del__ as follows:

def __del__(self):
  if hasattr(self, '_file_'):
    self._file_.close()
