Hi

Thanks for the replies. I managed to figure out what was wrong, and will 
post this here in case some else manages to do the same rookie mistake 
in the future.

The root of the problem was that I was compiling with a memory 
management library. This, in turn, caused the whole non-paged pool 
available for my application to be allocated within the first few calls 
(and I suspect didn't fully release the sockets either) - actually 
starting threads made this obvious (simply opening/closing sockets 
doesn't).

I had initially dismissed the memory management library as a cause 
because when compiling without it I still saw random test failures - so 
I assumed (wrongly) that there must be something I was missing in the 
sockets. However, while trying to figure out what resources I did not 
release, I fixed the bug which caused the tests to fail - so now when I 
do a simple compile, everything works as it should (and all the tests 
pass, which is a bonus!).
