Actually, it's no good - my code is broken. FD_SET() and FD_ISSET()
needs wrapping to call _get_osfhandle() on the socket. Since this is
not needed on Linux, the code ran just fine there. But on Windows,
select() failed, but due to the following bug, it wasn't picked up:
+               if (select(0, &fds, NULL, NULL, &timeout) > 0) {

changing the comparison around, revealed that select hadn't done
anything so fds wasn't modified at all! Thus, I wrongly interpreted it
as if both sockets had an awaiting connection, making IPv6 connections
work (since they are on the first socket), but IPv4 not.

I've corrected this locally, and I'll include the fixed patch in the next round.

Thanks for pointing out the issue, causing me to second guess my "cure" :)
