Here's what I found:

irb(main):001:0> require 'socket'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> io=TCPServer.new(1111)
=> #<TCPServer:0x518100>
irb(main):003:0> io2=TCPSocket.new('localhost',1111)
=> #<TCPSocket:0x510644>
irb(main):004:0> io=io.accept
=> #<TCPSocket:0x50b98c>
irb(main):005:0> io.write 'line'
=> 4
irb(main):006:0> io.close
=> nil
irb(main):007:0> io2.gets
=> "line"
irb(main):008:0> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.8.6"

In other words, the problem roger reports is not found on 1.8.6.
Roger, can you post version number and example script?
