Get an operating system... :-)

No, seriously, I think that the problem might be that WinSock doesn't block 
the sending process while it can't send out the data. Thus: the internal 
send-buffer of WinSock overflows at some point when the receiver can't accept 
data as quickly as the sending process puts it in the queue and data starts 
to accumulate at the sending end.

You might try using select to make sure the socket is writable when sending 
data to it. select also works under Windows, but only on sockets.

This is all just an educated guess...
