Yes, it's really picky, but I can't help from thinking about this case, especially because the MSDN documentation does not definitively state that this can not happen. I also looked at the documentation for `CloseHandle` to see if it can not accept `NULL` or `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE`, but there is nothing on that issue, either. (If `CloseHandle` did not accept `NULL`, for example, then `DuplicateHandle` could never use `NULL` for the resulting `HANDLE` value.)
Calling 'CloseHandle' with a value of NULL or INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE usually simply results in an access violation. You may be able to catch it with SEH but I have never tried...
Ciao, Andreas
