Hello, I have had some users of the Jupyter Notebook [1] on Cygwin report an crash on startup where, when the Notebook server tries to bind() to the port it will listen on (TCP 8888) the bind() fails and errno is set to EPERM, which is not an expected errno from bind().
Looking at the Cygwin sources, in net.cc I see that in set_winsock_errno, EPERM is returned by default if there is some WSA error for which there is no POSIX equivalent mapped. Fine--EPERM is as good as any other fallback I suppose (?) in that it unambiguously indicates some unknown WSA error. I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea what might cause such an error. Some third-party firewall or BLODA? I can't reproduce it myself. Trying to bind to a port already in use correctly returns EADDRINUSE.
