I noticed this as a side-effect of trying to solve the dlopen()/fork()
problem on winme; so I don't have a testcase as such. I am trying to get
the Gnome desktop to run on win me (it is working very well now on win
2k). As a simplified variation on what I saw, try:

$ XWin :0 &
$ xclock -display :0

The clock does not appear, at least I gave up waiting after 7 minutes;
control-c to get the prompt back. But if you try:

$ xclock -display localhost:0

then the clock appears immediately. The difference is that :0 uses a
AF_LOCAL socket, while localhost:0 uses a AF_INET socket. Hence my
assumption that unix doamin sockets have a problem. This was all with my
own build of cygwin1.dll done from a source tree updated at around 11:00
GMT this morning. Of course, it could be my build that is at fault, so
if you do not see this problem, then thats fair enough. The last
snapshot, 25Feb02, does not have this problem.

Steven
