Understood. On systems that can handle it, Pipe::TwoWay tries
socketpair(), pipe() and finally IO::Socket::INET if the other two
fail. On Windows, it skipped pipe() because that doesn't work.
My guess is that socketpair() is "working" but returning filehandles
which aren't actually sockets, so select() fails with a bad file
descriptor later on. I've worked around the problem by also skipping
socketpair() on Windows.
I can back out the change if that doesn't fix it, but all the "bad
file descriptor" failures did coincide with Pipe::(One|Two)Way, so
it's probably something to do with them.
