I searched the archives, and I found the following two messages from Reini

   https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2014-03/msg00010.html
   https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2014-05/msg00511.html

in which he mentioned problems with sockets.  He didn't specify how 
serious the problems were.  Reini, can you give Achim whatever 
information he needs in order to continue from where you left off?
