Please elaborate. Do you have an example of such use case? Are there
any existing races possible?
Everywhere that closes a file descriptor needs to coordinate the closing
with threads that may be accessing that file descriptor, otherwise you
risk doing I/O on file descriptors that have been recycled. This has
always been problematic for the legacy java.io classes, so the concern
is that increasing the window where you are using the "raw" file
descriptor will make it worse.
