Hmm, while this looks okay on the first glance, reading SUSv3 and the
Linux man pages tell another story.  SUSv3 has an explicit error code
ECONNRESET which has nothing to do with the EPIPE error.  The Linux
man page explicitely mentions that EPIPE is generated if "the *local*
end of a socket has been shut down [...]".  So I think this patch is
not correct, sorry.

OTOH, both texts tell us that this error code is only valid for connection
oriented socket.  A test for this is missing in the Cygwin sendto function.
I'll add this.

Thanks,
Corinna
