The connections are not sticky.  Thanks for all the
help.

Are the connections sticky? I've just run it on my
cygwin installation and
the number of connections is fixed. There is a new
connection every second
but the old disappears before the new is created.

If you experience a different behaviour than it must
be a problem with
ZoneAlarm or an other program installed on your host.

I'm directing the message to the cygwin list since
this problem also occurs
with a plain small cygwin program and is not bound to
Cygwin/X at all.

No problem. This was just small socket programming
praxis.
