I hesitate to provide a windows reference, given my lack of experience in TCP programming in that environment. That said, however, this page may have something worth trying. According to this, you actually don't want to set SO_DONTLINGER, but rather SO_LINGER, and set the l_linger field to 0. This will force a close via an RST rather than wait for full FIN processing. Maybe you have already tried this. This *could* also result in data not being received, based on timing, but I would not expect that to be the case on a local system.
