The issue here doesn't appear to be an implementation bug - if that were 
so then we'd probably SEGV/equivalent or observe some memory corruption 
(or in the case of Windows the I/O operation would fail when initiated 
with an error such as "The system detected an invalid pointer"). 
Instead, we appear to be encountering new behavior with the built-in 
firewall in Windows 7. It appers that when it blocks a connection it 
causes the asynchronous I/O to complete with an "access denied" error. 
Configuring the firewall to allow access (in this case ftp passive mode) 
seem to resolve the issue.
