You haven't supplied the canonical problem report info as requested in...

...so only WAGs come to mind:  Try it without using wsock32.  Cygwin has its 
own implementation of the TCP/IP networking functions and there might be 
unpleasant mixing of semantics when wsock32 is explicitly linked in.

Something else you could try is running the app under strace to see if anything 
obviously erroneous sticks out.

Most helpful of all for debugging this would probably be a <http://cygwin.com/
