Everywhere.  I tried

  revert_ids
  close(fd2)
  close(fd)

  close(fd2)
  revert_ids
  close(fd)

  revert_ids
  close(fd)
  close(fd2)

  close(fd)
  revert_ids
  close(fd2)

Reverting means, setting back to the original uid/gid pair system/admins.

Might be but what "things"?  The both sockets are also "fresh" and not
shared with any other application.

Removing setgroups() is one of the things I did to reduce the code to the
absolutely necessary.  Just FYI, in my environment I used 1004/513 as ids
which is sshd and, obviously, None.  I also tried setting the group to 545
(Users) and 547 (Power Users) which didn't change anything.  sshd is not a
member of any other group besides the inevitable None and Users.

So the situation as I can see (but not understand) is that creating and
using a nonpriv'd token "somehow" disturbs WinSock.  Calling RevertToSelf
(I checked that it gets called) doesn't help.  Waiting a while doesn't help.  

But as you guessed, calling the test application from a plain Win app *does*
help.  I started a ssh session under system account, switched to cmd.exe
and called the test app and the error disappears.

Baffled,
Corinna
