I believe they don't have proper non-blocking behaviour on Windows, though.

What exactly would happen when I'd try to use those on Windows? Would they block until they had read/written exactly 'Int' bytes? Or is there some other, more subtle difference?

I think they behave like the blocking variants on Windows (but the code is quite intricate.. I'm not 100% sure). This should really be fixed. Cheers, Simon
