Ok you can look for more information on this topic and possible
solutions if you search the mailing list using "The descriptor is a
file, not a socket".
[ ... ]
I had searched the archive for the entire
"Write failed: The descriptor is a file, not a socket"
and got 5 hits (starting with my report of this problem in a snapshot)
doing the search on
"descriptor is a file not a socket"
gets ten pages of hits on rsync, inetd, postgres, cvs, getpeername.
Is there a particular message that I'm missing?

Now this looks kinda strange to me - the attached files has some
garbage in it a two points - could that be some kind of bug in
cygcheck ?! Does anyone see the garbage in the attached file as I
do ?
It was trashed - should have overridden the default (& broken)
octet-stream content type.
