NT Service with OCI Code cannot start with wsock32.dll code

This is a strange interaction problem and I'd appreciate any ideas on how to fix it:

We have an NT Service that starts and runs OK until we rebuild it to include a module that has SOCKETs. We don't need to call the socket code -- we just include the socket code in the executable service, which presumably causes the wsock32.dll to be loaded.

We get this error when we try to start the NT service with socket code included:
"Initialization of the DLL D:\orant\bin\ociw32.dll failed. The process is terminating abnormally."

How could the presence of the wsock32.dll cause the ociw32.dll to not initialize?
