It seems Interix/Services for Unix and Subsystem for Unix applications have the same problem. According to Microsofts documentation (thanks Thunderbird) Vista/Windows Server 2008 and the Subsystem for Unix applications is supposed to support this so we might actually have a chance at seeing Wine run on Windows soon. I have a regression test for passing file descriptors with sendmsg/recvmsg I am working on that should be ready in a few more days and will post it. I'll test with Cygwin and SFU under Windows XP. Hopefully someone with Vista and Windows Server 2003 or 2007 can test for us. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
