I just encounter this same error but I am unable to solve it. My
program can create a socket() and actually connect to the server using
connect() but when I start the libev default loop an assertion ocurrs
when it calls _get_osfhandle() on line 716 of ev.c file.

How exactly am I supposed to use the _open_osfhandle() method as you
mention here?? If I use this method on the socket I get from the
socket() method then all subsequent calls on the socket (i.e. connect,
bind, listen) would return WSAENOTSOCK error.

Shall I replace all instances of _get_osfhandle() with a call to
_open_sofhandle()??  or am I missing something else??

regards
Horacio
