Isn't that exactly what you've shown above?

I'm not sure :) It could be
a) That it doesn't understand what you're asking it; are you really writing
win32 paths as "c:\blah\blah" as oppossed to "c:\\blah\\blah" or
"c:/blah/blah"?
b) There are a limited number of FD's available, afaik, do you have lots
open at any one time? (this includes sockets, btw).
