I don't know about this particular case, but I have noticed different
behavior of sockets between windows and linux.  Especially in
error-condition cases.  I don't think that's the fault of the Ada
sockets implementation -- I think the underlying operating systems
just do subtly different things.  I was able to write portable code,
but only by experimenting with both operating systems.  Reading
documentation didn't always help, here (sigh!).
