That of course is a completely different issue, and I agree this one needs solving. But it's not clear at all that we need to change the generic functionality that works just fine in other cases. IMO we should change the way the async I/O works to avoid wasting file descriptors. This probably means some kind of reference counting, but since this is only necessary for async I/O it should be done there, not in the generic code. -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
