I don't think that synapse is to blame[*]: my test
program is also using the sockets unit directly, and stores SocketError
(which just calls WSAGetLastError) in a variable.
What really puzzles me is that project3 (your test program modified to
use tthread and to do a connect instead of a bind) works while project2
doesn't. Maybe I've been staring at them for too long, but I cannot see
the difference.


[*]apart that you can only know that a socket operation was
successful by checking LastError.
