Hi,

I fixed the problem and uploaded the fixed version as dg9_2_3-pre9y.zip.

In message <_A3374@delegate-en.ML_> on 07/07/06(21:59:35) I wrote:

I found (was reminded) what the problem was :)

 a) a file descriptor bound to a socket is markd as a socket (by _SOCKET()
   /_ACCEPT())
 b) when it is closed with fclose(), the mark is not cleared even after
   the file descriptor is released
 c) when another file (not a socket) is opened (by fopen() or open())
   reusing the file descripor, it is left marked as a socket
 d) I/O to the (non socket) file descriptor is redirected to send()/recv()
   via _write()/_read() then fails.

Your problem occurred because a pipe descriptor between DeleGate and a CFI
process is miss-marked as a socket by this problem.

The problem was in b).  When I did the porting onto Windows ten years ago,
I could not find a way to hook the fclose() to maintain the consistency
of the mark.
The original problem is that socket is not manupulated as a file on Win.
So I wrapped functions socket()/accept() to bind the handle to file
descriptor (osfhandle) and mark it as a socket.  dup()/dup2()/close() to
maintain the mark.  (the mark is an arrary to map fd to socket handle).
I/O functions read()/write()/fread()/fwrite()/fprintf()/...  are calling
_read()/_write() so I replaced it with my own _read()/_write() which
switches between __read/__write and recv/send depending on the mark.

Now, since version 8.11.0, fopen() is a macro to Xfopen() and it's easy
to extend it to maintain the mark, so I did it as the enclosed patch.

Cheers,
Yutaka
