Trying to work with Threads

Hello,

I was doing a quick test with Threads in my Win32 box and something
strange occured. The point here is to input text without interrupting
the counter. I plan to use a similar method to display text incoming
from a server while being able to send messages and such. A couple of
people told me that it works ok on *nix, but I can't get it to work
here.

The code:

t1 = Thread.new {
  x=0
  loop do
    puts x
    x+=1
    sleep(1)
  end
}
  
t2 = Thread.new {
  loop do
    y = gets.chomp
    puts y
  end
}
    
t1.join
t2.join

This is a well-known win32 bug.
Though I had tried to fix the bug about 3 years ago, it was not
accepted.
Refer to
