Not really ?

Msoft docs state that it should work on all Windows versions from 95
up to Vista.

Quoting http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms740141(VS.85).aspx

"For connection-oriented sockets, readability can also indicate that a
request to close the socket has been received from the peer. If the
virtual circuit was closed gracefully, and all data was received, then
a recv will return immediately with zero bytes read. If the virtual
circuit was reset, then a recv will complete immediately with an error
code such as WSAECONNRESET."

Can you reproduce the error with a, non-libcurl just winsock2, minimal program ?
