Subject: [ruby-core:31682] IO#gets hangs on socket

Hi all.
Saw this the other day:

basically if two ruby sockets connect, and one ruby one socket does

io.write "line"
io.close

and the other does

io2.gets # this line here hangs *forever* even though the socket has
been closed.

Is this expected? A bug?
Thanks.
