Close() MUST BE CHECKED for those cases.
[I am fighting to fix the issue since C-C TB fails to use buffered write
which causes so much I/O overhead, but then I found the return value of
Close() are not checked at all. Ugh... So I have to fix C-C TB to make
it check the return value of Close() and take appropriate error
reporting/recovery action before I can enable buffering. Very

A blanket statement above can put bad ideas in many people's mind :-(
Of course, if the "close()" above refers to POSIX close(), fine.
