So the gets called on your socket in readline is returning nil instead 
of a string object, and getting #chomp! called on it?

def readline(f)
     (l = f.gets).chomp!
     puts "srv> " + l if $debug
     l
end

What do you see if you change it to;

def readline(f)
     l = f.gets
puts "srv> %s" % l if $debug
     l.chomp!
     l
end

?
