 Hi,
 
 Test 2 in test_io.rb fails on FreeBSD. This is related to http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1066, which, according to the comments posted after the bug was closed, wasn't really fixed.
 
 I ran into this on Debian GNU/kfreebsd (Debian userland, freebsd kernel). One of our freebsd porter wrote (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543805):
 
 > The test assumes that the kernel buffer for pipes have fixed size.
 > It does not have to be true, there could be adaptive buffer size
 > provided by kernel. After filling whole kernel buffer (by non-blocking

 (It is likely to be the same on Mac OS X)
 
 He suggests changing the test to:
 >   begin
 >     require "io/nonblock"
 >     r, w = IO.pipe
 >     w.nonblock = true
 >     bytes = w.write_nonblock("a" * 100000)
 >     w.nonblock = false
 >     t1 = Thread.new { w.write("b" * 4096) }
 >     t2 = Thread.new { w.write("c" * 4096) }
 >     sleep 0.5
 >     blocks = 2 + bytes/4096
 >     blocks.times {
 >          r.sysread(4096).length
 >          sleep 0.1
 >     }
 >     t1.join
 >     t2.join
 >   rescue LoadError
 >   end
 
 However, I don't understand what that test is trying to test. It might be better to simply remove that test...
