How is TCPSocket.gets implemented?

The following works here, while the recvfrom sample is broken.

require 'socket' 
if fork
  s = TCPServer.new('localhost', 2006)
  while (ss = s.accept) do
    ss.print "Hallo"
    ss.close
  end
else
  sleep 1
  p "los"
  1.upto(3) do
    s = TCPSocket.new('localhost', 2006)
    p s.gets
  end
end

s.
