Does the Open C/S library use C++, and static/global objects? If so, you
might be running into the problem of not having those objects
initialized.

Another thing to check might be to give the 2.01 server a try, if you're
not using it already. The socket implementation is much closer to what
the system provides in that version of the server, so if it is a
conflict between our two libraries, it's possible that 2.01 will remove
that conflict.
