Subject: [ruby-core:27429] [Bug #2560] IO.read not always closes the file

Bug #2560: IO.read not always closes the file
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2560

Author: Vladimir Sizikov
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-11-12 trunk 25723) [i386-mingw32]

Consider the following:

File.open('test_file', 'wb') { |f| f.write 'abc' }
IO.read('test_file', 0, -1) rescue nil
File.unlink('test_file')

On Windows the unlink call fails with:
`unlink': Permission denied - test_file (Errno::EACCES)

This is due to fact that IO.read, invoked with invalid offset parameter does not close the opened file. But the documentation clearly states that:
"read ensures the file is closed before returning."

This causes two RubySpec failures for IO.read:

mspec -t r core\io\read_spec.rb
ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-11-12 trunk 25723) [i386-mingw32]
