On my box:

  lukfugl@hephaestus:~$ cat a.rb
  Thread.new { }
  p $stdin.eof?

  lukfugl@hephaestus:~$ ruby a.rb # no CTRL-D, terminates immediately
  true

  lukfugl@hephaestus:~$ ruby -v
  ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-linux]

  lukfugl@hephaestus:~$ uname -srm
  Linux 2.6.17-2-686 i686

So it's present for me with ruby 1.8.5 on linux 2.6.17. I did just
notice that my ruby is compiled i486-linux -- that *may* have
something to do with it, but I don't think so.
