It demonstrates the difference in the behaviour of this select(),
recvfrom(), send() construct under linux and windows fairly well doesn't
it. I apologize if my unsophisticated skills are causing you extra trouble
and work, but I hope you don't mind me pointing at this issue and wonder
where it's coming from.

Just to add my humble two cents, I find the behaviour on linux more
intuitive, because there is no connection when you use UDP so I don't see
what connection could have been reset. I also find it weird that after an
error occured select() returns and tells you that the socket has something
to _read_. After reading the documentation I thought this is what the
error fd_set was there for.
