Summary: exec fails when ruby is built with pthreads enabled

Initial Comment:
On Mac OS X, if ruby is built with --enable-pthread, you cannot (ever?) use exec; you'll get an EOPNOTSUPP error. Doing some Googling I've found that it's because not all the pthreads in the app are terminated/joined, and Mac OS X won't exec while other threads are running,
