Re: maybe read-string/partial bug??

   I think I was questioning the generation of an exception for this particular
   condition.  It didn't appear to be severe or exceptional enough to me when I
   was looking at the code.  Seems more reasonable now, however.

Yes, I agree that it is a gray area. "Connection closed" in most circumstances
just means end-of-file. But if the syscall *doesn't* raise an exception, and
just returns EOF, then you've forever lost the ability to make the
distinction -- baked into the API.
