Subject: Odd STDERR behaviour under rubyw.exe

Hello;

I've had some really weird errors from testers on this one: I develop & 
test this program myself under Linux.  Before sending it out I try it on 
Windows 98, and as far as I can tell, it runs smoothly.  The error I get is 
that STDERR is a bad file descriptor.  However Ruby appears to decide that 
this is the case only at random intervals on the testers' Windows 98 
machines, and never on my home machine.  Workaround is obviously just to 
stop any output to STDERR but I find it odd that the stream isn't just 
ignored when Ruby is compiled as a Win32 graphics application.

Any thoughts?
