The manual entry on _open_osfhandle says:
"Associates a C run-time file handle with an existing operating
system file handle."
To mee it seems like only an association is done, i.e. no copy.
This means when the filedescriptor returned by _open_osfhandle
is closed the socket is closed. To act the same ways as the UNIX
code you have to dup() the filedescriptor.
