I have no doubt there are w32 aspects to this problem.  But I see no
reason to try debugging that as long as this machinery doesn't work
well on Posix hosts, because we will bump into issues that have
nothing to do with how w32 emulates Posix functionality.  Especially
if we are now seriously discussing radical changes in the design (like
running the handshake from a timer or such likes), which, if
implemented will change the code significantly, and will no doubt
affect what the w32 port needs (or doesn't meed) to do to support
that.

IOW, let's return to the w32-specific issues when the dust settles on
the Posix code.
