Tom Lane b85427f227 Attempt to fix some issues in our Windows socket code.
Make sure WaitLatchOrSocket regards FD_CLOSE as a read-ready condition.
We might want to tweak this further, but it was surely wrong as-is.

Make pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket detach its private event object from the
passed socket before returning.  I suspect that failure to do so leads
to race conditions when other code (such as WaitLatchOrSocket) attaches
a different event object to the same socket.  Moreover, the existing
coding meant that repeated calls to pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket would
perform ResetEvent on an event actively connected to a socket, which
is rumored to be an unsafe practice; the WSAEventSelect documentation
appears to recommend against this, though it does not say not to do it
in so many words.

Also, uniformly use the coding pattern "WSAEventSelect(s, NULL, 0)" to
detach events from sockets, rather than passing the event in the second
parameter.  The WSAEventSelect documentation says that the second parameter
is ignored if the third is 0, so theoretically this should make no
difference.  However, elsewhere on the same reference page the use of NULL
in this context is recommended, and I have found suggestions on the net
that some versions of Windows have bugs with a non-NULL second parameter
in this usage.

Some other mostly-cosmetic cleanup, such as using the right one of
WSAGetLastError and GetLastError for reporting errors from these functions.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
