Actually no. after the first connection it ends. it's not a crash. it
quits the client entirely. no exception. but there is a return code of
0x3ffffffff or something.. I'd have to check for sure.

hmm guess I'll have to loop because of the case 0: where we have a connect
but nothing has been sent yet. Don't wanna close in that case.

Understood.

why? the console output from cygwin can't do half of what I need todo and
basically adds yet another layer to what I need done. I found that when I
did use cygwin's console, things were very very slow and jerky. Now at
least we have some semblance of speed with the output (oh where are the
direct video memory accesses :))

btw. getsockname() is broke.
