 Well, server.rb is

    loop {
      begin
        line = socket.gets
        puts line
      rescue
      end
    }

 When the client die : the first #gets return EOF, ruby call rb_sys_fail()
 but the error is discarded because there is a rescue. 

 When ruby call #gets for the second time, it return EOF and errno is not
 set but ferror() give an error.
