Yes. Now it works fine on this Linux 2.4.4 platform.
I also tried drb on other platforms:
- W2K: 				plain ruby works
- SuSE Linux 6.4 (kernel 2.2.14): 	plain ruby works too!

Ok, so this is a linux (glibc ?) related problem, it appears that
the direct getaddrinfo() call fails on the newer platform.
The exact failure point is still not located, I'll have a detailed look
this evening.
