Strange.  This worked just fine for me (Mac OS X 10.4.7, Ruby 1.8.5).

Here is what I get calling getaddrinfo without the extra params:

irb(main):008:0* info = Socket::getaddrinfo(host, nil)
=> [["AF_INET6", 0, "radar.local", "fe80::203:93ff:fe96:4cb4%en0",  
30, 2, 17], ["AF_INET6", 0, "radar.local", "fe80::203:93ff:fe96:4cb4% 
en0", 30, 1, 6], ["AF_INET", 0, "10.0.1.2", "10.0.1.2", 2, 2, 17],  
["AF_INET", 0, "10.0.1.2", "10.0.1.2", 2, 1, 6]]
irb(main):009:0> info = Socket::getaddrinfo('localhost', nil)
=> [["AF_INET6", 0, "localhost", "::1", 30, 2, 17], ["AF_INET6", 0,  
"localhost", "::1", 30, 1, 6], ["AF_INET", 0, "localhost",  
"127.0.0.1", 2, 2, 17], ["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2,  
1, 6]]
