Hm.. I tested the problem on linux because you mentioned that you and
Jim have confirmed that the problem was on all OS. Now it seems it is
limited to at least XP (probably win32 too).

So, how about it, list, which ruby build for win32 should he be using?
cygwin or mscv or something else?

Also his second problem is about select() on win32 does not operate on
the return of pipe(). This should not be a problem with the cygwin
version, but iirc, lots of people do not use the cygwin version. Does
the msvc version allow select() on pipe() (or whatever IO.pipe()
returns)?

YS.
