It was marked as critical before the spec update (I sent you an email), which 
means we did look into it when it first started failing. I did look into the 
failure (not knowing that it was previously tagged as critical) and know what 
is causing the problem, and it is a race. It will fail on your machine and in 
Snap given enough time. 

We should not be untagging such non-deterministic critical and unstable 
failures. Otherwise we end up spending time investigating the failures 
everytime. Do you know if any other critical and unstable tags were removed? 
Would be good to send the list of such removed tags to the team after a 
RubySpec update so folks can keep an eye out for the failures.

Since the send_spec tag is working on my machine and snap, I'd like to try to 
figure out why it's failing for you instead of disabling it.

  tfpt review "/shelveset:rails;REDMOND\sborde"
  Comment  : 
  defined? should clear $! of any exception that may have been thrown by 
const_missing
  Makes NativeMethods.SetEnvironmentVariable check if the call succeeded
  Adds a critical tag for library\socket\basicsocket\send_spec as it hung on my 
machine
