OK, I tried the April 4 snapshot of cygwin1.dll now.

I compiled the traceroute code to call socket() like:

 socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP)

this seems to work for sending as long as you call
sendto() with the icmp packet and data. I'm not sure
how standard this is, as the only other #ifdef in traceroute
that uses this is hpux. Perhaps cygwin sendto() should skip
the ip header to be more compatible? Is IP_HDRINCL supported in Cygwin?

If I call socket() with IPPROTO_UDP instead, UDP packets
are actually sent out, but with the destination port = 0.
This might just be a Windows thing, because the Winsock
faq says that RAW sockets only work for ICMP or IGMP. 

Anyway, that's the sending side. The recvfrom() that is
listening for the ICMP response never returns data.

Try a current developers snapshot, please. AFAICS, it should work
now.
