Subject: Curious warning with IO.popen on Windows

Hi all,

Ruby 1.8.6 (one click)

This code causes a "The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe."
warning when run with -w.

io =IO.popen('date /t')
io.close

However, this code does not:

io = IO.popen('date /t')
io.gets
io.close

Why?

Thanks,

Dan
