Spurious "Connection reset by peer" problems anybody?

[Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cygwin at cygwin dot com>]

Hi listies,


over the weekend I came across a description of a Windows socket problem
which might affect some of us.  Fortunately I also came across the
potential solution.

My question is, does anybody have a scenario in which he or she
encounters weird "Connection reset by peer" or "Software caused
connection abort" messages in Cygwin, possibly at the end of a
connection attempt?

If so, I might have a solution for this problem.  The code exists, but
personally I don't have any such problem, so I can't test if it helps,
and I'm reluctant to apply this to Cygwin without need.

Therefore I need a guinea pig for this change.  Any takers?

Please note that this is *NOT* about the problems related to OpenSSH-5.8p1.
That's an upstream bug which is about ot be fixed soon, AFAICS.


Thanks in advance,
Corinna
