If flags.write_daemon is set then there is more data to write
to the file. You probably don't want to close it before
all has been written.

If you must, I guess you could do something ugly like
call fd_table[fd].write_handler(fd, fd_table[fd].write_data);

I'm not sure what will happen next though.
