Yeah, I just reproduced.  I should have checked first, sorry.  This was a
different problem.

Looks like Linux changed the amount of data that it's willing to buffer
yet again, so tests that have to write enough data so that a network write
will actually block are not blocking again.  I'll change the thresholds in
this upload.

Unfortunately, Ruby's mkmf system doesn't, so far as I can tell, have any
way of building for all installed versions, so I need to know what
versions to build for so that I can iterate through the Ruby interpreters.
If there are tools available to do this for a build system that uses mkmf
directly, I'd be happy to switch over.  (But I don't mind doing uploads
for new Ruby versions; it's not hard, and I should be able to generally do
so quickly.)
