Subject: Socket.accept problem via Socket.for_fd($stdin.fileno)

Hi,

I am experiencing a rather infuriating problem with Socket.accept on
Windows XP.  The problem exists when I try to create a Socket from
for_fd whilst passing it $stdin.fileno - When the code tries to perform
a Socket.accept it responds with a rather vague error:

#<Errno::ENAMETOOLONG:Filename too long>

An example of the code would be:

server = Socket.for_fd($stdin.fileno)
ns, = server.accept

For those interested in background information (might help with my
case,) this code exists within the 'Pure Ruby' version of FastCGI.  I am
trying to run the application as a FastCGI application, and to be
honest, I am tearing my hair out at times. ;)  I must have tried a dozen
different methods to get it working via FastCGIServer.

Any help is truly appreciated!  Thanks in advance all.
