IO library locking doesn't count readers

We aren't keeping track of the number of readers of a file, so that the first one to close a Handle removes the lock.

> main = do
>         fc <- openFile "z" ReadMode   -- sacrificial handle
>         fr <- openFile "z" ReadMode
>         hClose fc
>         fa <- openFile "z" AppendMode
>         hPutStr fa "append this line\n"
>         hGetLine fr >>= print

this should fail.
