We aren't keeping track of the number of readers of a file, so that the
 first one to close a Handle removes the lock.

 {{{
 > main = do
 >         fc <- openFile "z" ReadMode   -- sacrificial handle
 >         fr <- openFile "z" ReadMode
 >         hClose fc
 >         fa <- openFile "z" AppendMode
 >         hPutStr fa "append this line\n"
 >         hGetLine fr >>= print
 }}}

 this should fail.
