I'm guessing the error might stem from the bug in Windows'
cmd.exe, which has been talked about here in the past in what
I recall being similar circumstances...

Try invoking ruby explitly, like

c:\>type file.txt | ruby ruby_script.rb

...if that fixes it, then I think we were seeing the cmd.exe
bug.


Hope this helps,

Bill
