It sounds great!
I don't live in IPv6 still, but I tried the patch by 
`./configure --disable-ipv6'. Then, sockets seem not to work correctly:

% ruby -r socket -ve 'p TCPsocket.open("www", "daytime").read'
ruby 1.2.5(99/04/13) [i386-freebsd2.2.6]
/tmp/rbo25611:1:in `open': Protocol not supported - socket(2) (Errno::EPROTONOSUPPORT)
        from /tmp/rbo25611:1
%

What is wrong?? or, Does this patch work upon only IPv6??
I have IPv4 environment only.
