If anyone is sufficiently interested in the sendrecv message sockets over file descriptor stuff (I know I am not anymore) there may be an archived email with a regression test I found showing the problem. Even though it was now listed as a supported operation, it kinda sorta worked in limited cases under Server 2003 and hung in others which Wine stress. I don't even recall all of the details at this point but it culminated in me presenting my findings to the SUA team developers and them saying 'that's nice, call our support to file a bug report'. Since I could not actually file the bug report myself online and calling Microsoft support is like a $200 (even if they do issue a refund or not charge your CC if it's a new real bug), I decided to waste no more time with it. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
