I don't have a link to it - can I send it to your return address? (I
personally don't like to put mine out on a newsgroup because then you get
bombed with spam).

Right, functionally it's what I expected. The C runtime libraries adds a
layer of handling over the low-level OS/Windows subsystem so that's it's
hard to tell what's really going on. Matt's article explained much but not
everything about what's really going on down there. I think ultimately you'd
have to check the source code to try to distinguish between an OS behavior
versus the behavior that a higher level added on.

.NET is supposed to hide all these complexities anyway. I think it more
important that the .net behavior be logically consistent and that it does
the "right thing" regardless of the underlying OS. For the most part I think
it does a pretty good job.

Dave
