I don't think you need to understand much (or any) of Emacs internals
to fix this bug.

AFAICS, the bug is in sys_select in w32proc.c which does not properly
emulate the "unix select" semantics for server sockets (in "listen"
mode).

Fixing that is pretty isolated from the rest of emacs.

So I guess you have the motivation to fix it :-)
