yeahh, you're right.
I found what's going wrong. By default, WS2 opens the socket in overlapped mode, 
hence the error in Read/Write File (while the send/recv and other WS functions 
should handle this gracefully).
BTW, our WS implementation doesn't use the right open mode by default (which is 
overlapped)
