ioexception

After providing some answers here, and reading some comments, it would seem that, in practice IOException is never thrown on close for file I/O.

Are there any cases in which calling close on a Stream/Reader/Writer actually throws an IOException?

If an exception is actually thrown, how should it be dealt with?
