Pete,
The most likely reason for the difference in Cygwin is,
"If you create a socket using the Winsock 2 WSASocket API and you need to
apply a timeout in receive or send operations on the socket, you must
specify the WSA_FLAG_OVERLAPPED flag in the WSASocket call."

As someone who's seen this behaviour on several platforms, it can happen.
I've had to deal with this little annoyance in other products by having a
retry counter loop. So many consecutive recv()s of 0 length constitues a
closed connection. Something like this might work here as well?

Brians' link is to the Single Unix Spec V2, so it's not all that old.
