Thanks for trying this test. I suspect that most failures are caused by
deficiencies in the ncat-test.pl, which isn't very good. I got many
failures yesterday on Unix, and they all had to do with problems in the
test program, not in Ncat itself. Some other tests might fail because of
bugs on Windows. I'm curious why the HTTP proxy tests seem to return
status 400 all the time.

I was originally getting the same crash windows you reported, but now I
can't reproduce them. Do you have a way to find out where abort is being
called (it's probably an assertion failure)? You might have to use an
ncat.exe compiled in Debug mode.
