Yeah, I think that may well be a manifestation of the same problem:
once the backend exits, Winsock issues RST which prevents the client
from reading the queued data. We had been analyzing that under the
assumption that Windows obeys the TCP RFCs ... but having now been
disabused of that optimism, it seems to match up pretty well.
It'd be useful to check if Lars' patch cures that symptom.
