This means that very first call to the cygwin1.dll function 'write(int 
networkSocketFd, const void *buf, size_t nbyte)' failed for some reason: 
ENOBUFS is not one of the valid error codes for write(), so it's set to 
that by something internal to cygwin's implementation of write().

e.g. smells like a cygwin (or windows) bug -- cygwin is unable to create 
a Mutex or an Event for managing the socket communications (e.g. 
CreateMutex or CreateEvent in net.cc: (handler_socket::init_events) failed)

I'm wondering if you have different versions of cygwin on the two 
machines -- not that it should matter, but if so then the answer may be 
simple.  Can you send -- as attachments, not cut-n-paste -- the result 
of 'cygcheck -s -v -r' on each of the two cygwin machines?
