Fxruby + threads + ctrl-c != stacktrace

Hi! I am writing an fxruby application, but unfortunately sometimes,
somewhere there has to be an infinite loop. (CPU 100%, taking more and
more memory). When I press Ctrl+C I expect to get a stack trace, but
this does not work with fxruby, I just get the position where the run
method of the FXApp instance is called. This makes it very difficult to
find the bug. Any ideas how I could get to a correct stacktrace?

You probably already now this and it is not exactly an answer to you question, but one thing that helps a lot when debugging threads is to put

Thread.abort_on_exception = true

at the beginning of your program.

Thread.abort_on_exception = true

I know this, and this should definitely be the default setting for any
application :slight_smile:
