But MSDN says:
 You should not use DuplicateHandle to duplicate handles to the
following objects:

     * I/O completion ports. No error is returned, but the duplicate
handle cannot be used.
     * Sockets. No error is returned, but the duplicate handle may not
be recognized by
 Winsock at the target process. Also, using DuplicateHandle interferes
with internal reference  counting on the underlying object. To
duplicate a socket handle, use the
 WSADuplicateSocket function.
