For posterity: as described and discussed here:

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/229801

it turns out that threads and I/O don't mix in the One-Click Installer 
at this time. Neither, apparently, do they mix in the MinGW builds I 
made. Cygwin is not an option for me, so I will have to switch to a 
different language. Thanks anyway.
