Subject: TCPSocket & Threads

Is there any reason ruby's TCPSocket should not work with threads?
Ie. reading and writing to the same socket in parallel?

I am having some problems, but it could be my code rather than the library :-)

Where is the best documentation for this module?

The pragmatic book 
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/lib_network.html
seems to leave out many details
* E.g. TCPSocket sessions have "read" and "write" methods which are not mentioned.
* The send method seems to take two arguments instead of just one 
  send(msg, length)

Is this code documented elsewhere? The only other place I know where to
look is the Ruby-1.8.0/ext/socket/socket.c file...that can't be right?!
