I've been dead in the water all day here because Apple changed something in the underlying Socket/Networking implementation in Mac OS X 10.5.3 and now Ruby doesn't correctly handle sockets. I've been looking at it, but haven't figured it out so far.

My thread on ruby-talk is here http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/154556 if anyone wants to weigh in on it.

I'm assuming something has to be patched into getaddrinfo.c in the ruby distribution, but my C is more than a little rusty, so it's slow moving for now.

Really, how hard is it release a document along with an OS upgrade explaining the low level changes made. Isn't that what we have the Apple Developer Connection for?
