Re: ENOTSOCK errors with cygwin dll 1.3.21 and 1.3.22

["Abraham Backus" <abraham at backus dot com>]

Sorry for taking awhile to respond :)

I followed Igor's suggestion and looked at the cygwin-cvs archives and found
which change is affecting me.

It seems that part of the change in:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2003-q1/msg00350.html

Specifically:
* fhandler_socket.cc (fhandler_socket::dup): On NT systems avoid
	using WinSock2 socket duplication methods.  Add comment.

This is what's causing me grief.

I built the 1.3.22 sources, commenting out the line:
if (! wincap.has_security ())

and my inetd apps work ok again.

I've been searching the web and archives to try and find out what's the
difference between WSADuplicateSocket and DuplicateHandle and I can't really
seem to find anything, other than an MS KB 150523 "BUG: Socket Inheritance
on Different Windows Platforms".  I don't mind investigating further, but I
think I've come to a roadblock....  In the comment with the patch, it says
"Using WinSock2 methods for dup'ing sockets seem to collide with user
context switches under... some... conditions."  Where can I find more
information on this user context collision problem?

I have WinXP Home SP1.

thanks!
