Hi Paul,

first thanks for all the debugging information.

yep, right.

I guess we have some cygwin related problem, maybe it's the accept()
serialization itself.

I have still Cygwin 1.3.14-2 running on my development laptop. Anyway
I'm about to backup that installation and installa a fresh "latest"
cygwin tree to see how things are behaving with that.

That exactly the question I'd like to hear from the core Cygwin
people. Corinna, may you pick this issue up?!
