Hi all

I only noticed now that many of the iemnet classes crash Pd on Windows XP. The problem seems specific to Windows XP. The crashes cannot be reproduced on Windows 7.

[tcpsend] does not crash.

[tcpclient] crashes as soon as the connection is established. Trying to connect to a non-existant end-point won't trigger the crash.

[tcpreceive] and [tcpserver] crash immediately as soon as a client (telnet, nc, [netsend]) connects to them.

[udpserver] / [udpreceive] / [udpclient] crash at instantiation time.

[udpsend] does not crash.

This pattern looks to me as if the crashes happen whenever a listening socket is open, but I don't know of any way to proof that.

Tested on Windows XP SP3 Pro with Pd-0.43.4-extended.

Whether this has anything to do with how Pd-extended was compiled or with the source of iement, I don't know.

This is what I get from Windows after the crash: http://imgur.com/rvUKfmv
