EWINDOWS - you are trying to use Ruby on Windows.  I have experienced
and reported this bug, but it has not been addressed, AFAIK.  It only
happens to a few of us, and it's hard to tell why.

I am not wizardly enough to hack the Ruby source (I tried :( ), so I
must wait until a Windows TCP guru decides that Ruby is necessary, and
fixes it for me. :)
