I'm coming in late here (I've been away), but for what it's worth I
strongly agree with the above. Don't open a socket in one layer and
close it in another, it's unbalanced, unclean, and just generally bad
design. If the application opens the socket, or file, or anything,
then the appliacation layer must also be responsible for closing it.
If the socket were opened in the library layer, _then_ the library
layer should close it. It should not close something that the
application layer opened.
