Subject: WEBrick Error on NT - Errno::EBADF: Bad file descriptor


I'm trying to start up webrick on my NT box.

irb(main):003:0> s = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => 4567)
Errno::EBADF: Bad file descriptor
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/log.rb:40:in `write'
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/log.rb:40:in `<<'
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/log.rb:40:in `log'
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/log.rb:85:in `log'
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/log.rb:51:in `info'
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:55:in `initialize'
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.rb:24:in `initialize'
	from (irb):3:in `new'
	from (irb):3
	from :0
irb(main):004:0>

I've tried a few other port numbers picked at random, but no joy. I also
get a similar problem if I just try to open up a TCP socket, so this
seems related:

irb(main):006:0> s = Socket::TCPServer.new(45673)
Errno::EBADF: Bad file descriptor
	from (irb):6:in `write'
	from (irb):6
	from :0
irb(main):007:0>

Could anyone suggest what the problem is?

Thanks,
