Interesting.  The problems I have seen only happen after booting up, so yes=
 it=20
looks like different problems.

On the other hand every thread in Cygwin has an associated UDP connection (=
the=20
implementation uses it), so "network silent" is not quite true... but I don=
't=20
know how fork is implemented and if it uses UDP connections also.  You coul=
d=20
monitor with TCPView if any such UDP ports are being open.

The interesting part would be to know what resource is the message "Resourc=
e=20
temporarily unavailable" talking about.  It could be a Windows XP-SP2=20
limitation: can't open more than 10 connections in a given time span (the=
=20
default after SP2 set in TCPIP.SYS), it was different before SP2 but that p=
atch=20
is very old and I've only seen these messages recently.

For me, it started when I updated Exim to 4.66, about a month or two ago,=
=20
yesterday I installed version 4.67 so the problem may change again.
