Historically, CloseHandle() would simply return FALSE (0) for bad 
handles.  If this changed, it is a regression in Windows itself. 
Debug/Checked builds of Windows might report the bad handle to the 
debugger, but the Release/Free builds would not throw an exception, BSOD 
or other kind of assert().
