Ok, I resolved the issue by replacing my afd.sys with a newer version I got from a friend via email. Big thanks to everybody who has looked into the issue, especially meek!

In order to save others from having this nightmare in future I did a little blog post that describes the symptoms I had together with the solution that helped me.

 Hey meek,

 I think you found the exact bug. It's Microsoft to blame:

SYMPTOMS Data loss may occur if all of the following conditions exist:


A bind of a listen socket is completed in a parent process.
An accept is completed in a child process.
Fast sends are happening. This is exactly what I experience, and this
explains why putting some usleep() statements in when outputting the image
via a fread loop seems to have a positive effect (slows down the send
process)!

 However, I'm not sure if I like the solution:


RESOLUTION To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for
Windows XP. For additional information, click the following article number
to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
 The problem is that I have had a really bad time installing a service pack
on my system in the past, but maybe that was because I tried to install from
a different windows cd (I got an OEM version) with SP 2 instead of
Downloading the patch (which is a bad option since I'm on 64 kbit) ...

 Hmm but they a Afd.sys file that seems to be problematic, maybe I can
simply replace this with a SP 2 version. (Yeah, I know it's a bad idea ^^).

 Thanks to all the others who have looked into this as well. I'll see if I
can fix my system somehow without going through some major pain ...
