Description:
There are 2 calls of defaultDatabase->getOpenConnection() in StorageHandler::initialize. First seems to be unnecessary.

How to repeat:
$cat -n StorageHandler.cpp
...
 969 void StorageHandler::initialize(void)
...
    982 
    983         try
    984                 {
    985                 defaultDatabase->getOpenConnection();
    986                 dictionaryConnection = defaultDatabase->getOpenConnection();
    987                 dropTempTables();
...

I do not know if two calls to getOpenConnection() is needed or not but at least Falcon seem to be consistent about this. In Connection::shutdownDatabases() we have two calls to database->shutdown():

	for (Database *database; (database = firstDatabase);)
		{
		unlink(database);
		database->shutdown();
		database->shutdown();
		database->release();
		}

According to Jim Starkey;
The first call to defaultDatabase->getOpenConnection() is a memory leak.  It clones the master connection then drops it on the floor.  I suggest removing it.  Also the extra call to shutdown.
