Now that I can believe. I was wondering if this is where it was having problems. Do you guys on the Cygwin/XFree86 project have any MSDN doc numbers on this bug? Do you have an idea of how to program around it? Is it straight forward?

Well actually it is a crapy bug in select() on Windows since years.  We
discovered it
at Cygwin/Xfree86 project, last week.  Select was doing bizzare things on
Windows ME, someone from IEEE.ORG pointed
out to the bugs in Winsock, which according to him M$ developers do
intentionally as an
inginious way to get things working.  Nothing much can be done about it,
except to code
DX in a way to work around M$ bugs.
