Technically it would need to go to STDIN, the passed FastCGI socket.

But you couldn't just write to it directly, anyway - it needs to be the
FastCGI binary protocol.  The FCGI gem should be setting that up for you,
sadly as I'm not a ruby person I can't help you further.  But the fact
that the supplied hello world does the same thing, seems to be a strong
hint it's not the program, doesn't it?

As always, I recommend using the external FastCGI mode as my experience
has been that it's a lot easier to debug and secure than dynamic
operation, with the mild inconvenience of having to make sure an extra
component is running.
