accept() fails in service, succeeds in standalone app

[Matt Minnis]

I ran into this same issue.

The accept() call waits for input of some sort.

I have a program that opens a Telnet server session and then gets stuck at 
the accept() call.
If I telnet to it, it will then continue.

Kinda anoying.

I am on Win2000, running Cygwin 1.13

Thanks,

Matt
