That makes no sense. The OP said that $stdout.fileno != STDOUT.fileno, 
and yet $stdout.object_id == STDOUT.object_id

It can't be the same object, but respond to the same method differently.

What do you get from this? Run it as a standalone ruby script, not 
within irb, to eliminate irb as the source of the problem.

puts STDOUT.fileno
puts $stdout.fileno
puts STDOUT.inspect
puts $stdout.inspect
# and repeat for STDERR/$stderr
