[snip lots] Thanks for that very detailed explanation. > So, I'm stuck in Cygwin bizzaro-land. I think most Windows Sup users are in the same situtation, so I would like to make this work. The only thing that makes me uncomfortable about the patch now is the 2048 thing. But if that is, in fact, the documented maximum number of fds ever opened by a Windows process, then heck, let's go for it. I'm going to move this code into a separate module that's only called when run under Cygwin, then commit. -- William
