Only my stupid note:
Even I have no relevant knowledges about winsock, I agree with Bruno - from one
simple reason: This game runs without problems in many variants of pure Windows
(W98, W2k, WXP). So, Windows do probably the thing in the way which Bruno
guess.

(My simple patch is only provisional, finally it should to (at least) do
something similar like Bruno told above, i.e., it should test if EACCES is
related to broadcast packet according to destination IP. Or maybe better: patch
should test destination IP address before calling of WS2_send and modify the
packet appropriately - like (probably) do Windows...)
