It works on my box:

    ~/r/net $ unset RUBYLIB
    ~/r/net $ ruby-1.6.4 -v -rnet/http -e 'p Net::HTTP.new(nil,8080).get("/",nil)'
    ruby 1.6.4 (2001-06-04) [i686-linux]
    [#<Net::NetPrivate::HTTPResponse 200>, "<html>\n<head>\n  <title>..."]
    ~/r/net $ ruby-1.7 -v -rnet/http -e 'p Net::HTTP.new(nil,8080).get("/",nil)'
    ruby 1.7.1 (2001-08-06) [i686-linux]
    #<Net::NetPrivate::HTTPResponse 200>

Net::HTTP tries to connect localhost when host is nil.
Please try the code below and let me know the result.
ruby exits normally, or hang?

    $ ruby -rsocket -e 'TCPSocket.open(nil,80)'".
