Sorry for low accessively.  There is official feedback mail address
ipr-feedback at notwork.org. 

This morning, I've been set up WEBrick user's mailing list webricken
(and webricja for Japanese).  To subscribe this list, please send the 
following phrase

subscribe Your-first-name Your-last-name

to the address webricken-ctl at notwork.org.  This is described in 
http://www.notwork.org/ipr/webrick/ .

That is regenerated here.  I used 1.6.6-i586-mswin32 compiled by
U.Nakamura: http://www.dm4lab.to/~usa/ruby/index_en.html .

The phenominon IO::select() returns [[], [], []], unfortunately, it is
difficult to regenerate by shorter code.

However httpd.rb works fine with the latest version of 1.7.2 binary.
So, a solution is to use 1.7.2, we ipr use the current usually.
