Subject: Cygwin Network Programming Problem

I have taken what looks to be a common network programming sample from the
Internet and compiled it on Cygwin.  Upon reaching 'accept' for the second
time I receive the following output:

	accept: No children

I have spent a few days perusing the Net and have found no solution to this
problem.  If you compile and run the following source, you can telnet to
port 3490 and get back, "Hello, world!".  When you telnet a second time, the
error shows up.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <signal.h>

#define MYPORT 3490

#define BACKLOG 10

void sigchld_handler(int s)
{
    while(wait(NULL) > 0);
}

int main(void)
{
    int sockfd, new_fd;
    struct sockaddr_in my_addr;
    struct sockaddr_in their_addr;
    int sin_size;
    struct sigaction sa;
    int yes=1;

    if ((sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1) {
        perror("socket");
        exit(1);
    }

    my_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    my_addr.sin_port = htons(MYPORT);
    my_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
    memset(&(my_addr.sin_zero), '\0', 8);

    if (bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&my_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr))
== -1) {
        perror("bind");
        exit(1);
    }

    if (listen(sockfd, BACKLOG) == -1) {
        perror("listen");
        exit(1);
    }

    sa.sa_handler = sigchld_handler;
    sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
    sa.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
    if (sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL) == -1) {
        perror("sigaction");
        exit(1);
    }

    while(1) {
        sin_size = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
        if ((new_fd = accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&their_addr,
&sin_size)) == -1) {
            perror("accept");
            continue;
        }
        printf("server: got connection from
%s\n",inet_ntoa(their_addr.sin_addr));
        if (!fork()) {
            close(sockfd);
            if (send(new_fd, "Hello, world!\n", 14, 0) == -1)
                perror("send");
            close(new_fd);
            exit(0);
        }
        close(new_fd);
    }

    return 0;
}
