From: Nathaniel Talbott Date: 2004-01-01T05:34:32+09:00 Subject: Bad interaction between timeout.rb and --enable-pthread Here's a testcase that shows the problem: require 'test/unit' require 'timeout' class TC < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_time timeout(1){} t = Time.now sleep(5) assert_in_delta(5, Time.now.to_i - t.to_i, 1) end end If you comment out the timeout line or run without --enable-pthread it will pass fine. Thanks, Nathaniel <:((><
