I'll bet that the problems all are having with running TCP librarys with 
MS Windows code is that the libraries are expecting the C standard
dynamic memory allocation functions, and are instead contending with the 
MS Windows memroy allocation system at link.  Or maybe it is a fight between
the two different systems for the memory that is available.

Even if the TCP libs are using the Windows memory functions correctly, one
must remember that Windows moves data segments around alot, and these libs
may be depending on stationary data segments.

Just a few random thoughts...

BTW: I, too, would LOVE to see a reasonably priced TCP / Sockets package
that works with windows.
