(Though I do like to see patch merged and I would use it, and I have trouble following your logic.) vhangup() is different from revoke(). vhangup() does weird SIGHUP handling and stuff, which I think goes way beyond what revoke() would eventually do. And that different behaviour becomes visible in various smaller places. e.g. vhangup() results in POLLHUP on the fd, although I assume that revoke() would more likely result in POLLERR. And there's more...

Thanks. If you are trying to insult me, doesn't really work, because I didn't do this "bodge job". I'll take it as a compliment though that you say there's a "Lennart style".
