Could the listening program, which presumably is, or could be, a phantom manage the connection once it comes in BUT also fire off another listener / responder to wait for the next connection? And so on? That way there's no need to pass anything anywhere...
Otherwise, if the socket handle is just a number then you could use an item in a file as temporary holding area.

I'm toying with making a socket server I have program A, which receives the socket requests, then I want to fire off a phantom to process the socket when it comes in. How can I pass the SOCKET handle from the main program to the phantom process. Because it's a phantom, it gets a whole new workspace, and named commons won't do the job.
