I have spent a little bit of time myself playing with this. The problems run a bit deeper than you can see at first. While the MS_SYNCH issue is annoying, it is not critical. Just comment those lines out. The problem occurs later in the program, when it tries to establish a socket connection to the server with the APT data. For some reason, I have not been able to get it to successfully negotiate this transaction. The newer HURD may have better support for the SOCKOPT features than I had when I last played with it. Good luck, -Brent
