Subject: EINVAL and C calls (Was: Why is my http call failing?)

I've gone further. This following call snippet fails:

require 'socket'

t=TCPSocket.open("code.whytheluckystiff.net",80)
str1='GET /yaml HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n'
t.write(str1)

of course with an EINVAL error.

AFAIC write a calling a C function. So why would  calling 
a C function cause a EINVAL ( this is not rhetorical ).

I believe earlier calls have probably been executed earlier in the
same library ( the open works ).

Suggestions?

Let me add that it is the one click installer available from rubyforge
