OK, I think that I have spotted an issue after additional read of the
code. When a WSA event is used for read/write activity on a socket,
the same WSA event gets reused again and again. That's fine for
performance reasons, but what I think is not fine is the fact that
this WSA event is *not* reset even once in-between when calling
WaitEventAdjustWin32() to adjust an event HANDLE to wait for, and the
FeBeWaitEvent is used a lot. That's one inconsistency with the old
code that always closed the WSA event after using it, unconditionally.
Now that we cache it I think that we had better put it in a clean
state every time we want to use it again.

With the pointer miscalculation I pointed out upthread it gives the
patch attached.

Ashutosh, could you try it and see if it improves things?
