FYI, I've just switch accept() to use cygwin_select instead of its own
thread.  Works like a charm.  fhandler_socket::accept looks like this:

  [...]
  if (!is_nonblocking ())
    {
      fd_set rfd;
      FD_ZERO (&rfd);
      FD_SET (fd, &rfd);
      res = cygwin_select (fd + 1, &rfd, NULL, NULL, NULL);
      if (res == -1)
        return -1;
    }
  res = ::accept (get_socket (), peer, len);
  [...]


This looks somehow too easy to be really correct...
