Hi Alan,

There has been a discussion about a year ago on this list:

Yes, I remember this and also reviewed it for Joe. My point about it not coming up before was in the context of BufferedWriter/etc where close needs to flush. In that case then I think it would be more typically to throw a new IOException each time. I'll leave to Joe to comment on suggestion to drop self suppression. -Alan
