If one used those preds to try putting values on the channels one is asking 
about, then yes, that would generate a classic nasty check-then-act 
scenario:

(when-not (closed? c) (>! c 42)) ;; Value could be never put, in face of 
interleavings

Programmers experienced in concurrency should have developed a sensibility 
against that kind of code anyway.

However, if what one is trying is to *stop* putting values on the channel, 
I see no possible race conditions.
