Came across a couple of things in close():
1. It doesn't handle being called with a bad argument (like -1) well at
all. It generally hoses the world.
2. It's not using return values and errno settings in a POSIX compliant
fashion. It returns things like -EINVAL instead of returning -1 and
setting errno to EBADF.
Unless there are major reasons why it is this way, I'll make the changes
to fix it.
