This looks okay too although your previous version meant that a flush 
throwing ThreadDeath would cause close to terminate with the error 
rather than it ending up as the suppressed exception. The new version is 
better in that it ensures that close is always called and it's probably 
not worth spending time on  the ThreadDeath corner case here.
