Thanks.  I'm wrestling (and losing, so far) with Ruby on Windows. :-(

I had random hangs during big data transfers.  I traced the packets
with WireShark and found that some packets had incorrect checksums.
Per worked out the degenerate case with one-byte payloads; that bug
was fixed.  But there remain cases where big packets fail, too.  I'm
not smart enough to debug his routine myself, and Per's interest seems
to have waned.  I ended up transplanting the checksum routine from
Contiki, and the bad checksums went away.
