Maybe I misunderstood, and you were confirming my interpretation to be 
true, not the OP's :-)

Anyway I've just booted a laptop into XP, and done this:

C:\>ruby
puts STDOUT.fileno
puts $stdout.fileno
puts STDOUT.inspect
puts $stdout.inspect
puts STDERR.fileno
puts $stderr.fileno
puts STDERR.inspect
puts $stderr.inspect
^Z

#<IO:0x2846af0>
2

#<IO:0x2846adc>
#<IO:0x2846adc>

C:\>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

This version of Ruby came from the 'one-click installer' Ruby-186-26

And FWIW, I get the same in irb too.

HTH,

Brian.
