It's a problem win the underlying Winsock (again).  Maybe this discussion
on stackoverflow helps you along:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6140734/cannot-bind-to-multicast-address-windows

Right now I have no inclination to workaround this problem in Cygwin.
Maybe if you ping me again in a month or so.  Of course, patches are
always welcome...
