Ouch. This is my fault. When I removed support for OS versions prior
to Windows XP, I accidentally removed support for applications using
ioctl on sockets built under Cygwin versions prior to Cygwin 1.7.
Now, nfs-server has no maintainer and had been built in 2006, so it's
affected by this.
I'm reluctant to revert the old functionality since that re-introduces
code to read network adapter inforation in a way only required up to
Windows XP pre-SP1.
I'm going to think a bit about this problem and try to come up with
another way to support older applications in 1.7.21 again, using only
the current functionality.
Stay tuned,
Corinna
