Err.... Never mind.  Nothing to do with ruby.
It seems to be an OS issue with cmd.exe with the machine I am on or
the installed patch of XP (It isn't my personal box) or something
worse like a virus or trojan.
I am getting the same absolutely weird behavior with a similar Perl
script and with the MSDOS built-in dir command!  Yikes!
