Hi Barry,

Any chance you could grab this ?:

http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html  ZIP - 554KB

There's no installation to do - just unzip to a new folder.

(It displays running processes and handles in use
 - including sockets, mutexes, etc.)

Close any applications not in use, then:

1) Start procexp.exe       [PX below]
2) Start your simple Ruby test prog and leave it hanging ...
3) [PX] Click on the Ruby.exe process line in the top pane
4) [PX] Ctrl + H  (View menu -> Lower Pane View -> Handles)
5) [PX] Ctrl + A  (File menu -> Save As ...)  pxrb.txt
   - done -

Check pxrb.txt for personal info
 (sometimes appears on title bar of email client)

I was going to suggest you post it here but the output is tabbed.
If you mail it to me, I can format and upload it somewhere visible
for folks here.   [ daz (at) d10.karoo.co.uk ]

I don't have XP, so that's probably all I can help with.
