Yeah, now that the problem seems to be understood, I don't think that would be too bad. I recently killed off our previous write()-wrapper in c9df6f4, but I see no reason why we can't add a new one.

Would we need to wrap both ends, shouldn't wrapping only reading be good enough to prevent deadlocking?

compat/poll/poll.c already contains a function called IsSocketHandle that is able to tell if a HANDLE points to a socket or not.
