	Well if you can convince Microsoft to back port the function
	we need to use to stop named dieing to W2K then it will
	work with W2K.   W2K came off the suport list because we
	needed functionality that was not available in W2K.

	You didn't get any advance notice because the fix is only
	a couple of days old.  Unlike the unix based ports the
	Winsock code is still evolving under Windows to fill in
	missing bit of functionality.
