As some of you may know, there is an Open Source Napster Server (opennap),
which is written in ANSI C.

This server used to work fine, when compiled with older versions of CygWin,
however, with the newer versions I noticed that it doesn't kill sockets very
well anymore.

netstat -n looks like this:
TIME_WAIT
ESTABLISHED
TIME_WAIT
TIME_WAIT
TIME_WAIT
ESTABLISHED
TIME_WAIT
TIME_WAIT
(IP's left out for privacy protection)

As you can see, there are a lot of sockets which aren't killed properly, and
I am sure that this is because of the newer version of CygWin, because it
used to work fine without any problems.

My question is, does anyone know if anything changed in the way CygWin
handles sockets?
(yes, I did read the changelog...and stuff)

Sincerely,
