Thanks for catching!  Given that the loop isn't guaranteed to set `err'
correctly all the time, I wonder if we shouldn't get rid of `err'
completely.  Checking WSAGetLastError is plain user-space memory access
anyway, and there's no reason the compiler can't optimize this by
itself.

Also, I would prefer to have a shorter subject (<=72 chars or so) and
to describe this in the log message a bit more detailed.

Would you like to provide another patch along these lines?


Thanks,
Corinna
