> Dear Tino and the rest of the Cygwin community,
>
> I made a post yesterday (2/13) on this problem and posted a testAccept.cpp
program. By the way, my new version of cygwin and g++ agreed perfectly with
Tino's response. Also, tests to use a specific "real" address in the bind( )
call didn't change the  problem behavior...

> As an experiment, I happened to have an old version of cygwin's install
package on a server and have move the problem machine back to the distant
past:

> CYGWIN_NT-5.0 SSLGROUPOB 1.3.3(0.46/3/2) 2001-09-12 23:54 i686 unknown

> g++ --version
> 2.95.3-5

> The testAccept.exe built on this version of Cygwin works perfectly. Also,
my testAccept.exe built on the lastest version of Cygwin runs perfectly on
this version of Cygwin. And one more "fun fact": I tweaked the program and
built it under Visual C++ and it runs perfectly.
>
> So, on my machine the new version of Cygwin has a problem! Accept(2) will
hang on the second call for the same socket. I wonder who else in the world
will have similar problem. Tino reports that he doesn't have any problems on
his machine...
>
> At this point, I don't know what else to try. I'm pretty sure the problem
is down in the new cygwin1.dll but I don't have the time or knowledge to go
digging into that beast. Also, I'm not sure what interaction on my system is
causing the problem. Clearly if Tino can run my testAccept.exe, then there
has got to be something different...

> Any suggestions anyone?

Do you by any chance have any firewall software running on the daemon'ish
machine? ZoneAlaram perhaps?
