Comment(by nickm):

 To see whether I'm right about the cause, I've attached a short test
 program "gsa.c".  You can build it with mingw using "gcc -Wall gsa.c
 -lws2_32 -o gsa.exe".  To run it, try doing "./gsa.exe" and then
 "./gsa.exe 1".  The first time, it will try a nonblocking socket.  The
 second time, it will try a blocking socket.

 For me, on XP, using a nonblocking socket, it reports my address as 0x0.
 Using a blocking socket, it reports my address correctly.  Notably, if I
 insert a one second delay between the connect() and the getsockname(), the
 blocking case works too... so I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is
 on XP.

 Let's see if the win 8 problem is the same.  Shandoit is going to try to
 run it, but doesn't currently have a win8 installation, so it might take a
 little while for an answer there.  If you've got a win8 installation and a
 C compiler, you might want to give it a shot.
