Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Not letting channels escape.

Hi,

as a side node: There is not just the danger of an escaped channel giving runtime errors. Think what happens when you

 let fd1 = Unix.open_file file1 in
 let () = Unix.close fd in
 let fd2 = Unix.open_file file2 in
 Unix.write fd1

Suddenly you write to the wrong file.

MfG
