Yes, that's a bug in Cygwin.  The socket event handling got messed up
when MSG_PEEK was used.  I fixed that in CVS so it will be in 1.7.2.
The last time I had problems with MSG_PEEK was back in 2006.  Curious
how seldomly it's used, apparently.

Thanks for the simple testcase!  It was very helpful to track down
the problem easily.
