Subject: [BUG] Incorrect TCPSocket errors

Hello

I'm using ruby 1.8.0 on windows 2000.  I've discovered that when 
TCPSocket.new raises an exception, the Exception.errno variable contains 
the wrong error number, and subsequently, $! contains the wrong error 
text.

e.g.
TCPSocket.new("some.host.com", 80)

if some.host.com is not listening on port 80, you should receive error 
10061: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively 
refused it."  This is the error I used to receive with ruby 1.6.7

However, with ruby 1.8.0, I get error 61: "The printer queue is full"  
This is obviously incorrect.  It seems that 10000 has been subtracted 
from the error number for some strange reason.

Cheers,
Alan.
