Subject: Suggestion for native thread tests

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi!

I'm checking 1.9 and I made a test with two threads reading two files
and one reading a FIFO, but seems that the FIFO is blocking the other
threads. Is this a valid test for native threads? Using similar code in
Java it works as expected. Here's the code:

files    = %w(thread_test.txt thread_test.fifo thread_test2.txt)
threads  = []

files.each_with_index do |item,index|
   threads << Thread.new do
      while true
         puts "(#{index}) Reading #{item} on #{Time.now} ..."
         puts File.read(item)
         puts "-"*50
         sleep 1
      end
   end
end
threads.first.join

Using an updated 1.9 it still blocks when reading the FIFO. I need some
suggestion of some test to prove that the native threads are there. :-)

Best regards,
