Threads and IO (gets) still a problem for us?

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to get this working:

t = Thread.new {
    while true
      puts "printing a line"
      sleep 2
    end
  }

gets
t.exit
puts "exiting"

As you see, the idea is get multiple "printing a
line" until a hit enter.

The thing is this is a known problem for 1.8 on win32.

I tried both mingw, VC6 and VC8 with the same results.

Saw a post from Park Heesob patching this in 2003... but for
1.8.1.

Should the new WinRuby propose a solution for this? :-D

Just droping a new bomb on the battle field 

In the meantime, there is a non-accepted patch for this?
Park?

Thanks in advance,

Good to know 

btw, you didn't replied about my willing to share the
partial
dependency nightmare solution for Ruby 1.8.6 under VC8.
