Not in consuming PHP from a higher level app. But for PHP's dependencies where you have explicit contracts to free() what is returned to you from some library, share other crt-managed objects, you are correct. Don't confuse fd's and FILE * objects with Handles; those are completely safe to share and hand off, because they are Win32/NtDll objects not managed by the crt. It's a Bad Idea (tm) if you aren't paying attention, that's for certain :)
