segmentation fault in socket()

[Madsen, Mark]

This is another problem that I encountered while looking into the
segment fault in select() (see thread: crash in select).

The following code will run until it generates a segmentation fault
somewhere in the call to socket(). The final few lines of the resulting
output are after the code sample.

It's interesting to note that there are errors resulting from cmalloc
returning NULL, but a valid socket descriptor is still returned.

This was run on 1.3.17 on W2K Pro.

Sample below:
----------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <cygwin/in.h>


int main()
{
    int sd;

    while(1)
    {
        printf("Attempting to create next socket.\n");
        if ( ( sd = socket( PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) ) <= 0 )
        {
            printf("Can not get socket!\n");
        }
        else
        {
           printf("Opened socket: %d\n",sd);
        }
// Adding a delay here didn't change the results.
    }
    return 0;
}

Output:
-------
