I know that can happen with SSL sockets (which can require writing and
reading). Can't think of any situations on normal file systems where
that's true, unless the actual failure is in the flushing of buffers;
technically, that's not a failure of closing, but it could be a
failure that's detected on close(). Is that what you're thinking of?
