I'm trying to grab 5 lines by their line numbers from a large (> 1GB) file 
with Clojure.

So far I've got:

(defn multi-nth [values indices]
  (map (partial nth values) indices))

(defn read-lines [file indices]
  (with-open [rdr (clojure.java.io/reader file)]
    (let [lines (line-seq rdr)]
      (multi-nth lines indices))))

Now, (read-lines "my-file" [0]) works without a problem. However, passing 
in [0 1] gives me the following error: "java.lang.RuntimeException: 
java.io.IOException: Stream closed" 

It seems that the stream is being closed before I can read the second line 
from the file. Interestingly, if I manually pull out a line from the file 
with something like `(nth lines 200)`, the `multi-nth` call works for all 
values <= 200.

Any idea what's going on?

PS This question is on SO if someone wants 
points:
