The following code seems to leak threads. Is there a better way to handle
timeouts so they don't leak threads? I tested it on both windows and linux
and the results are the same.
If you set t to nil in the rescue the result is the same.

require 'timeout'
include ObjectSpace
begin
execLine = "sleep 100"
while true do
t = Thread.new {
begin
e = IO.popen(execLine)
e.readlines
ensure
e.close if (e && !e.closed?)
end
}
begin
timeout(1) { t.join }
rescue TimeoutError => e
puts "timeout: "+e.to_s
t.kill
end
c = 0
ObjectSpace.garbage_collect
ObjectSpace.each_object{|t| c += 1 if t.class == Thread}
puts "num threads #{c}"
break if c > 20
end
end
