Running that on Cygwin, I get

display: unable to open X server `'.
-e:4:in `write': Broken pipe (Errno::EPIPE)
        from -e:4:in `print'
        from -e:4
        from -e:2:in `each'
        from -e:2
        from -e:2:in `each'
        from -e:2

Probably a platform issue, but I gotta say I'm a bit surprised.
