No, it's not a bug. A function might have created directories, symbolic 
links, driver objects, ... that operated already, if you closed the 
handle you might destroy some of these things even though other 
applications or other parts of the operating system are already aware of 
them and all the sudden e.g. devices might vanish. So it actually makes 
sense. Remember, some objects perform certain operations (like closing 
completion ports) if the last handle was closed.
