Here are some hints:

[d33tah-win7][~/shared/ncat/ncat-env-ncatins/ncat/test] $ ncat --sctp localhost
Socket troubles: No error
Assertion failed: sd >= 0, file
c:\users\d33tah\downloads\ncat-lua\ncat-env-conninfo\nsock\src\engine_select.c,
line 353
(MSVC abort screen follows)

As for the non-SCTP bugs, I couldn't reproduce them. It's possible
that these were actually just this SCTP bug - as I said, I cut out
most of SCTP tests, but omitted some places where SCTP was specified
after the "individual tests begin here" line. These bugs could be
unrelated to SCTP even though in my first mail I suggested it's
TCP/TCP SSL - it's just that the error screens could appear with some
delay which made me think so.
