Signal handling problem in ruby

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/220937

I presume I am running into similar problem but this time with ruby
1.8.6(2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32] (under windows).
Basically my program runs and spawns several threads, some of which block on
network IO but the main thread after doing all initialization etc installs a
signal handler by trap("INT") { s.stop } where stop() is a method call to
stop processing.

The ^c signal is not delivered to the program until I send a network message
(unblocks the different thread waiting for IO).

Is this issue seen by others on 1.8.6? Any pointers are appreciated.

TIA

Hi Nasir,

Make sure you trap the signal in the thread you put your main sleep,
otherwise maybe the thread finishes and the trap goes nirvana...
