Well, it seems the problem is primarily occuring with Open3.popen3 
(which I downloaded the support for Windows from RAA 
(http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/win32-open3/)). When I am attempting 
to call .gets() on the STDERR line, it won't let me input anything into 
STDIN via .puts() until the .gets() method is over (they are being 
called in seperate threads). I tried using select on STDERR so that it 
wouldn't lock up with .gets() if there was no data, but as mentioned 
earlier in this topic, select only works properly with sockets on 
Windows machines.

If you think ConditionVariables would help me in this case, could you 
please give me an example of how they would go about fixing this 
problem?
