I don't  think it is a bug ... just a limitation of light-weight threading
on windows.

Try this (it worked for me using ruby 1.8.0 (2003-06-23) [i386-mswin32]
on Win XP Pro):

# ------------------------------------------------------
require 'socket'
require 'thread'

sock = TCPSocket.new('ancient.anguish.org',2222)
# login name is : guest (no password needed)

t1 = Thread.new {
  if line = gets
    sock.write line
  end
}

sleep(0.01)  #<------- added this line

t2 = Thread.new {
  loop do
    ch = sock.recv(1)
    putc ch
  end
}

t1.join
t2.join
# ------------------------------------------------------

HTH,
