I solved it a few minutes ago. The Curl_connecthost function uses the int
*socket parameter. That causes the error in the socket() function.
Changing the *socket and all references to it in the Curl_connecthost
function will fix the problem.

CURLcode Curl_connecthost(struct connectdata *conn, /* context */
                          Curl_addrinfo *remotehost, /* use one in here */
                          int port, /* connect to this */
                          int *socket, /* the connected socket */
                          Curl_ipconnect **addr) /* the one we used */

The attached diffs were made against the CVS code for today.

Daniel, I will commit the new lib/Makefile.vc6 and lib/curllib.dsp files.
