minimal example that shows that the process dies when someone tries to send a udp package in an cluster environment

udp socket send in cluster environment

var dgram = require('dgram');
var cluster = require('cluster');
var http = require('http');

var socket = dgram.createSocket("udp4");

if (cluster.isMaster) {
    for (var i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        cluster.fork();
    }
} else {
    http.createServer(function(req, res) {
        var message = new Buffer('test');

        socket.send(message, 0, message.length, 123, 'xxx');

        res.writeHead(200);
        res.end("hello world\n");
    }).listen(8000);
}

actually it seems to work under linux (tested with node v0.8.2) but not under Windows 7 x64 (node v0.10.0)

tested versions:

works on:
Linux, node v0.8.2
Linux, node v0.10.8

does not work on:
Windows7 x64, node v0.10.0
Windows7 x64, node v0.10.8
