I think manual ref count tracking (like _make_filerefs) + defining __del__ on the socket objects would fix it. But there may be issues w/ that - when we first encountered this I pinged python-dev and I recall Guido saying that there were problems getting anything else working on Windows. So there may be some oddity that prevents this from working but I don't know what that is off the top of my head.
