Ah, that definitely improved things, thanks. I also fixed up the 
test_client_async.rb script, btw.

However, I've botched something else up. I started up the 
test_async_server.rb program in one terminal, then ran the 
test_client_async.rb program. The first time it works on the client side:

# Client side
Connected...
write_complete
pipe client is running
read_complete
Got [Ruby rocks!] back from server

Though I see nothing on the server side.

The second time I run the client it just hangs.

I fixed something in the Pipe#wait method (so update from CVS) but that 
didn't solve it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan
