Jason forwarded me to a recent Haskell Café post re: a possible bug in old
bytestring being "too incautious" about closing file handles.

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/43082

I would like somebody to do these three things:
 1. read the thread and understand the implications of the bug
 2. add a configure check for it
 3. comb through the bugtracker, identifying bugs that may be caused by it

Thanks!

We're not using lazy bytestrings yet, so does this bug still matter?

I predict that nobody is going to go work on this, so I'm marking it wont-fix.
