accept() fails in service, succeeds in standalone app

[Markus Hoenicka]

Hi all,

I came across this weird problem in my first attempt whatsoever to run
some homegrown code as a WinNT4 service. The app is a simple server
that handles client requests with the bind/listen/select/accept
functions. This runs all fine and handles client requests nicely as
long as I run this as a standalone application. I can install this
application as a service using invkr153.zip ( http://www.idetix.com )
and it starts without problems. But when I try to connect to the server
(now running as a service), accept fails with errno 14 (bad address).

Has anyone else seen this? Is this a Cygwin issue or a NT issue? Are
there specific requirements for Cygwin apps to run successfully as a
service?

I'm running B20.1 on WinNT4 SP 5.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Markus
