Very cool. This one pops up a lot in cross-platform programming too - issues like GUIs, forking etc that you really want the language to abstract away for you, except that that merely shifts the headache over to the language designers and implementers.
Sometimes it's a pleasure to program in pure C, because you can feel your code doing exactly what you tell it to.
