`ray.init` on WSL does not work

What is the problem?

Ray version and other system information (Python version, TensorFlow version, OS): 0.8

This was reported in Modin. See discussion here: https://discuss.modin.org/t/problem-when-running-code-with-modin-1-time/90/2

This is related to, but not the same as #3059. See logs below

Reproduction (REQUIRED)

Please provide a script that can be run to reproduce the issue. The script should have no external library dependencies (i.e., use fake or mock data / environments):

import ray
ray.init()

If we cannot run your script, we cannot fix your issue.

• I have verified my script runs in a clean environment and reproduces the issue.
• I have verified the issue also occurs with the latest wheels.

I have the same problem, it’s working on linux, but I get the error on my WSL.

1.0.1.post1 works on WSL with my version of windows (19042.1288).
