Problems with native Unix domain sockets on Win 10/2019

Hi Ken, Corinna

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have just tested the fix and it 
works great. Thank you very much for looking into it.

When do you think it would be available in a form that regular users 
would be able to update/install?

Also, one observation FYI, is that the "ls -l" command on Unix normally 
indicates sockets with an "s" as the first character of the output: eg

srwxr-xr-x  1 Michael None         0 Feb  7 11:19 foo.sock

Currently, what is shown on Cygwin is

-rwxr-xr-x  1 Michael None         0 Feb  7 11:19 foo.sock

indicating a regular file.

All the best,

Michael.
