ImageReaderFactory looks good.

The changes to ImageReader are okay too, always a bit odd that this code 
throw NPE when the reader was closed. There is still an issue with async 
close of course in that someone could close at the same time as an 
access. However that is a high-level issue for jrtfs, at run-time then 
the image file is opened once and is never closed.
