Full ACK.

Cygwin does not explicitely generate EPERM anywhere near
AF_INET/AF_INET6 code.  Nor does a Winsock error exist which
gets gonverted to EPERM.

The *only* way to generate EPERM is if an underlying Winsock function 
returns an error code not handled by Cygwin.  I never encountered
that case, though.  Thus, a STC is highly appreciated.
