Subject: WEBrick test fails

On my Linux Red Hat 7.1 system, one WEBrick test fails with the following
error message:

TestWEBrickHTTPServer: E.
Time: 0.001338
FAILURES!!!
Test Results:
 Run: 1/1(0 asserts) Failures: 0 Errors: 1
Errors: 1
.../lib/webrick/server.rb:55:in `getaddrinfo'(TestWEBrickHTTPServer):
getnameinfo: ai_family not supported (SocketError)
        from ../lib/webrick/server.rb:55:in `listen'
        from ../lib/webrick/server.rb:51:in `initialize'
        from ../lib/webrick/httpserver.rb:24:in `initialize'
        from ./TestWEBrickHTTPServer.rb:14:in `new'
        from ./TestWEBrickHTTPServer.rb:14:in `setup'
        from ./TestWEBrickHTTPServer.rb:11:in `each'
        from ./TestWEBrickHTTPServer.rb:11:in `setup'
        from testwebrick.rb:31:in `start'
        from testwebrick.rb:25:in `each'
        from testwebrick.rb:25:in `start'
        from testwebrick.rb:56

All other tests pass. The offending line in ../lib/webrick/server.rb is

      res = Socket::getaddrinfo(@config[:BindAddress], @config[:Port],
                                Socket::AF_UNSPEC,   # address family
                                Socket::SOCK_STREAM, # socket type
                                0,                   # protocol
                                Socket::AI_PASSIVE)  # flag

I assume the error message is about the Socket::AI_PASSIVE flag.

Any hints? Have I done something wrong?
