If you're going to match the normal close() processing, shouldn't that
check the result against EOF and not just != 0?  If for example, the
file object is being used for a pipe, the result of the close might be
the result code of the child process which need not be an error.  I
think that only EOF should signify a failure of the close(), and only
in that case is errno probably appropriate (which perror will pick
up).
