I think this isn't related here. I have tested four 9X systems and I
can reproduce the problem only on one of them under probably identical
conditions. The same `DuplicateHandle' call creates a correct behaving
new socket on three systems while it fails on that one system. None of
my tests is in any way related to specific filenames.

However, thanks for the pointer.
