Sorry, I don't understand this comment.  fd is indeed a file
descriptor, but ioctlsocket's first argument is a SOCKET object, which
is an unsigned int, and we get it from a call to `socket' or some
such.  So where do you see a potential problem?

And anyway, I think wget calls ioctlsocket for every connection; if
so, then most of those calls succeed, because the binary I built works
and is quite capably of fetching via HTTP.  So these problems seem to
be triggered by something specific in those 3 tests.

OK, I will try to look into them, time permitting.

Thanks, that will have to do.
