B19: socket() problem with fork()

Hello,

I'm trying to port a Unix program using socket on 95/NT with GnuWin32.
But when I call the socket() function, this returns an error with
errno=EINPROGRESS (errno=119, strerror="Error 119") which I don't know
on Unix !?

This call is done in a child process (using fork()) but when I call it
in the father (before fork()), it works perfectly !

Does anyone have an idea ? Is it a known bug, a new bug, a programming
error ?

PS: I don't use WinSock sockets !
