This bug was introduced in Ruby 1.8.3 and still exists as of the nightly snapshot as of 30-Jun-2006, so I didn't want
it forgotten.

class Foo < IO
    def close
       STDOUT.puts "Hello"
       super
    end
end

if $0 == __FILE__
    Foo.open(File.open("testio.txt","w+").fileno){ |fh|
       fh.puts "hello"
    }
end

On 1.8.6 I'm getting mixed results. Now the original code 
sample prints hello, but then it raises an error:

C:\Documents and Settings\djberge\workspace\ruby-foo>ruby 
iotest.rb
Hello
iotest.rb:10:in `write': not opened for writing (IOError)
        from iotest.rb:10:in `puts'
        from iotest.rb:10
        from iotest.rb:9:in `open'
        from iotest.rb:9

What's happening here?
