That's good enough for me. I'm going to give it a go.

I think manual ref count tracking (like _make_filerefs) + defining __del__ on
the socket objects would fix it. But there may be issues w/ that - when we
first encountered this I pinged python-dev and I recall Guido saying that there
were problems getting anything else working on Windows. So there may be some
oddity that prevents this from working but I don't know what that is off the
top of my head.

Subject: Re: [IronPython] socket, _socket, and socket.py
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

socket.py:

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.
