I think this is more correct, but one more thing is needed... it looks
like design here was to load a map then not unload it until the next
time you're about to load it.  I think that's a bad idea and your
changes are the better way, but there are still a few unload calls
scattered around that now need to be deleted because they would be
unloading a map that was already unloaded when the IO completed.
