Description

Attempted to build libthriftnb and got a build failure:

1>------ Build started: Project: libthriftnb, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

The type for the size should be changed to "socklen_t", it is declared as "unsigned int". TSocket uses this as well, and it works across platforms.
