Subject: drb on windows not connecting


The drb examples just hang without doing anything. However, the tsvr.rb 
and clnt.rb (not drb, just TCP), work fine, so I don't think it's a 
firewall issue (I've tried shutting down the ZoneAlarm firewall, just to 
be sure).

The only sign of any connection is that exiting the server causes an 
exception in the client:

==== TERM 1 ====
C:\ruby\tmp\drb-sample>ruby name.rb druby://localhost:7640
druby://localhost:7640
[return] to exit


C:\ruby\tmp\drb-sample>

==== TERM 2 ====

C:\ruby\tmp\drb-sample>ruby namec.rb druby://localhost:7640
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:103:in `read': Invalid argument

This is with 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) mswin32.

TIA for any suggestions.
