reaping fd's and flushing buffers

[William Lee Irwin III]

Sure enough, after I say that all my fd reaping issues are solved at
the Haskell level, I've been bitten by issues that look like the RTS
doing things behind my back wrt. reaping fd's etc. etc.

Basically, while I used socketToHandle the fd's got closed prematurely,
and once I eliminated all uses of it, the socket fd's appeared to leak
despite attempts to explicitly close them.

Also, there were some very strange goings-on with respect to attempts
to flush buffers after the fd's they were being flushed to were closed.

So, what are the semantics here?
