This would not help as the problem it the use of the timeout module in 
the first place. The net/protocol module already wraps the call in a 
Timeout::timeout() call and this is the source of the issue. That call 
spawns a Ruby thread to enforce the timeout and the combination of the 
thread use and I/O is what is triggering the problem. In any case, I've 
already rewritten the code in Python and it works fine on all platforms. 
Thanks anyway.
