Hi Andrew,

That problem is fixed in netCDF version 4.1.3 and perhaps earlier versions.
Now ncids of closed netCDF files are reusable.

It's only a 16-bit quantity becasue the ncid identifies both the open file ID
and the group ID within the file, for netCDF-4 files, and the two 16 bit IDs
are packed into one ncid.

If you're going to upgrade your netCDF version, may I suggest trying the release
candidate for version 4.2?  It's got lots of bug fixes as well as some 
performance
improvements:
