I tried it and it doesn't change the behaviour. WSADuplicateSocket()
still returns WSAEINVAL. Too bad, the idea was stunning.
However, what if it's just the wrong parameter? Come to think of it,
the 2nd parameter is the own process id. What if the access to the own
process is limited from the unpriv'ed users perspective?
The next try would be to change the access to the process handle, right?
