No. That just moves the shutdown call from whren you finish with the fd to where you start using the fd - that's got to be less intuitive. Surely it isn't too much to close file descriptors you open? Just because Linux lets you get away without it doesn't mean its a good idea.
Anyway, if I provide a patch that neatly closes socket fds when they are no longer needed, will it get applied? Max.
