try this, after you force download of the file, use:
header("Location: close_window_script.php");
where the only code in that file is something like this:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
window.close();
//-->
</script>
this is a total workaround, but since its the only thing in the document,
its very possible that it'll work, it won't take any more time to load
either because you're using the header() function to forward, so the user
has to download the same amount of info.
