[Ruby] Problems with OpenSSL

[ben wiseley]

Since I know you've all been up for days working on the problem (because
it's SO interesting) I thought it'd be nice to just give you all the answer
so you could finally get some sleep.  :)

If you have a box on RimuHosting aparently they set permissions on the /dev
directory to 606, not 666, which causes opensll to die with permission
problems becuase it needs access to random.

Big thanks to James (yimmy on the cc) for figuring this out!
