Hi Alan, Whether to repeat close() in case of EINTR seems to differ between platforms. POSIX leaves it open:
"If close() is interrupted by a signal that is to be caught, it shall return -1 with errno set to [EINTR] and the state of fildes is unspecified." Linux recommends *not* repeating the call since the file descriptor is closed already and repeating the close may close a reopened fd belonging to someone else. AIX, for instance, recommends to repeat the call: "EINTR The state of the FileDescriptor is undetermined. Retry the close routine to ensure that the FileDescriptor is closed."
