Dear Octave developers,

Please forgive me for posting this again (
54571 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54571>) but I was afraid that it would
be lost otherwise.

The patch in the attached file avoids calling WSAStartup within DllMain and
therefore fixes possible deadlocks or use of uninitialized modules as
described in [https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/desktop/Dlls/dllmain].

If you have any doubts about this patch, please let me know.
