There's no guarantee that everyhing has been written to disk even if
close succeeds, since (at least on NTFS) actuall disk space commit
happens during cache flush. The only way to guarantee that everything is
on disk before the close is to flush the file buffers (or open the file
in write-through mode) -- and that's true of the current implementation,
too.
