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...

Oops, absolutely no shutdown().
