Thanks Tor.  I've modified the code similarly at my end.  FWIW the debug version of Microsoft's close() 
function specifically checks that the file handle is non-negative and that it's equal to or less than the 
highest known file handle value.  It asserts if either condition fails.  The release version simply sets 
errno to EBADF and returns -1.

My tests are now running fine except for the "Warnings and Errors" test where I see the following output:-

Glib-Message: Not implemented: g_test_trap_fork

Again, it'd be helpful to know if this is expected behaviour or if it indicates a problem with my build.  
Thanks.
