From what I've seen the problem is on the reading end, not the writing
end. Try just doing

puts "we recieved: <#{session.read(5)}>"

instead of using gets. You will see "Hello", even without using a newline
(or calling puts), or closing the client socket.

In my experience most TCP problems I've had have been on the reading side.
