Subject: 1.8.0: possible socket problem with mswin32 builds

Fyi: I tried the following command with two Ruby distributions on Windows 2003
Server:

    ruby -rnet/http -e "p Net::HTTP.get('www.ruby-lang.org', '/en/')"

This command hangs indefinitely on Windows; it works fine with ruby 1.8.0
(2003-06-25) [i386-freebsd5] and ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [sparc-solaris2.8].

I used these distributions:

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.0-i386-mswin32.zip
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-mswin32]

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=162114
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-05-26) [i386-mswin32]
