Comment(by matthew@…):

 Actually I just tried this on the latest revision of 1.9.1 (p376) and I
 get this instead:

 {{{
 $ irb
 irb(main):001:0> STDOUT.close
 /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb.rb:166:in `write': closed stream (IOError)
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb.rb:166:in `print'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb.rb:166:in `block (2 levels) in

         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb.rb:271:in `signal_status'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb.rb:154:in `block in eval_input'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/ruby-lex.rb:244:in `block (2

         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/ruby-lex.rb:229:in `catch'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/ruby-lex.rb:229:in

         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb.rb:153:in `eval_input'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb.rb:70:in `block in start'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb.rb:69:in `catch'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb.rb:69:in `start'
         from /usr/local/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
 }}}

 So it seems that it is now possible?  Maybe this is not an issue.

 Incidentally, in the latest 1.9.1 the Logger library breaks in the same
 way if logging to STDOUT and sent a close message.
