Greetings,

Thanks to those of you who helped me out.  It appears (today) that
I've resolved this problem, but I'm still not completely satisfied. 
It turns out the macros and batch files I use during development
always launch ruby.exe in debug mode (-rdebug).  When I happened to
test the code I wrote to isolate this problem NOT in debug mode, the
problem does not manifest (as I suppose others who ran the program
experienced.) So, my new question is this: do any of you see this
problem when you run my test app in debug mode and if so, what do you
make of it?  Is it perhaps a feature and not a debug (a diagnostic
perhaps?)

Cheers,

Ken.
