I have this small program to get email from my pop server.
The program works in Linux but not on my office Win95 machine.

I have written a  test program and managed to narrow down its error.
Here it is

The offending line is  marked above.
The error message is "Not owner"

Any idea why this is so.
I am running this in bash under win95 on Novell 4.1 compiled with Beta 17
The test program compiled fine using gcc -o test.exe test.c
