I found the nice example by Jonathan Kammen, using socketpair() http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-07/msg00758.html The weird thing is that I can't get it to misbehave on Win98/ME, even with a Cygwin dll without the linger hack. I will try on NT. If it's confirmed that there is no such problem on Win98/ME, then the ssh -R issue could be solved without risk by using linger only on NT and making the socket blocking with no linger only on Win95... >So an ideal fix would detect "end of life" situations.
