* What happens when one Handle corresponding to a socket is closed, but another isn't?

You shouldn't have two Handles on the same socket. This is an unchecked error.

This does seem useful, though. I am actually doing this in my code and it works. One Handle is opened ReadOnly, the other WriteOnly. That way, I can use hGetContents on the reading side in my network code. If I tried that with a single Handle opened ReadWrite, then I'd get errors about it being closed whenever I'd try to write out some data. I wasn't able to find any other good way around it. -- John
