Agreed, my 1..7 worked too, but... there were problems with the
networking code. For example, by trivial HTTP timeserver application
worked fine if I telneted in to it, if I invoked it from another Ruby
script, but it locked up when invoked from Explorer. I suspected an IPV6
bug, which is why I embarked on the attempt to upgrade to 1.7.
