I'm thoroughly embarrassed.

This is a (not so) funny combination of Cygwin 1.5.19 using the WinSock2
values for the IPPROTO_IP flags and another local build problem.  I
managed to use the 1.5.19 socket header while linking the inetutils
package against Cygwin 1.5.18 which added up to the described effect.

Oh well, I have uploaded a new inetutils package built with the 1.5.18
headers now.  However, you should still see an error in the above case,
just a different one:

  % ftp ibiblio.org
  ftp: setsockopt TOS (ignored): Invalid parameter

This is a result of newer Windows versions not simply ignoring the
IP_TOS setting, but instead returning an error WSAEINVAL.  I applied a
fix to Cygwin which now ignores the retun code of setting IP_TOS on
Windows 2000 and above.  It's a no-op by default anyway.  So you
won't see this error message anymore when using the next snapshot or
when building Cygwin fresh from CVS.


Thanks for the report,
