Re: GIO channels and "connection closed by foreign host" on WIN32

Well, you were lucky;) In more complex use cases, there are many ways
in which the behavior of GIOChannels for sockets, and watches for
them, behave differently on Unix and Windows.

Yes. That (and the fact that opening the socket (fd) is the
responsibility of user code) is a problem in this API. That means GLib
has no control or knowledge of exactly how the socket is created, and
what all the user code does with it.
