I noticed this, with a little disappointment. I also noticed that they
implemented a sort of ersatz/platform agnostic reference tracking system
in ssl.py. Seeing the _makefile_refs system got me thinking about the
whole ssl.py/_ssl.pyd paradigm and sockets.cs, since I remembered you
tackled this issue once before (or one very similar to it:
http://lists.ironpython.com/pipermail/users-ironpython.com/2007-May/004946.html).
Perhaps something along the lines of _makefile_refs and
GC.SuppressFinalize might get us closer?

There is actually more of a story to this though – Cpython’s socket.py
relies upon reference counting for handling dup. See this comment from

class _socketobject(object):
Because IronPython doesn’t have a reference counting GC we cannot simply
use socket.py. So someone would need to patch both IronPython and
socket.py so this would work. For the record it looks like Jython also
has a custom socket.py.
