Subject: getnameinfo: ai_family not supported (SocketError)

When trying to run gem_server on either of my gentoo systems, I get the 
following:
[2006-09-01 11:08:44] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
[2006-09-01 11:08:44] INFO  ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-linux]
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/utils.rb:63:in `getaddrinfo': getnameinfo: ai_family 
not supported (SocketError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/utils.rb:63:in `create_listeners'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:75:in `listen'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:63:in `initialize'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.rb:24:in `initialize'
        from /usr/bin/gem_server:353

I've googled and only found some people with issues from a couple of years 
back, which surprised me seeing as I've encountered this on two different 
systems. Any ideas what's up?
