Or...Crazy as it sounds, there was an attempt to bind to "valid looking" address perhaps derived from a host file entry or some such. One thing tcpdump could do for you is tell you whether there was an attempt to use something unreasonable (like 127.0.0.0), or maybe a non-routable address.

Of course you are right. what confuses me is these old-fashioned
winsock errors. Under the scenario you derscribe, I'd expect a

the local(?) socket couldn't be bound to an address. That just doesn't
make sense.
