Just to confirm the problem, I have run into the same issue on NT 4.0 SP5.
It occurs occasionally when I create multiple threads trying to do the
following:

		begin
			puts "Getting " + path
			pathfinder  et::HTTP.new("quote.pathfinder.com",
80, "proxy", 911)
			body  athfinder.get(path,
{'Host'quote.pathfinder.com'})
		rescue
			body  il
			puts "Error occurred for #{@ticker} " + $!
			retry
		end

As you can see my solution is even less robust (since this is play code), I
just retry. I also tracked it down to cygwin, but did not go any further...
hope this helps...

Will

Is there a way to find out if this is a known cygwin bug?
