It's worse than a resource leak - the same file descriptor number could be 
reused for a different file/socket, and then depending on the selector in use, 
you could see the data from a completely different connection. 

I did see a bug like this years ago (in libcurl), although it's not a common 
problem. I'd use the proposed hook if it existed, but it seems like an 
intrusive solution to a rare issue.
