Subject: WEBrick causing ruby process to hang? (on windows)

When I run a ruby script that uses webrick, it seems to hang on exit. 
I'm using ruby 1.8.2 on Windows XP.  (I don't remember having this
sort of problem using linux, but I don't have a machine here to verify
that.)

For example, if I run the following:

require 'webrick'

server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(
  :Port => 8081,
  :DocumentRoot => '.'
)

['INT', 'TERM'].each {|signal| trap(signal) {
    puts "got #{signal}, shutting down..."
    server.shutdown
    puts "OK"
  }}
server.start

This will start up fine, but on hitting CTRL-C it'll display both
'puts', and then hang.  I have to kill the process with task manager.

Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,
  Kevin
