Bug #2359: test_threads.rb:test_list
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2359

Author: Christian H��ltje
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision 24175) [sparc-solaris2.8]

In test/ruby/test_threads.rb:
 test_list errors or hangs on Sparc64 Solaris.

I think the problem is that when using native threads, loop{} starves the other threads.  I can "fix" running the internal eval'd code by changing the loop{} to be loop{puts 'fubar'}.  But that only works if it sends to the terminal (the io causes the thread to let go). Since it's being captured by assert_in_out_err() that doesn't really work.

A work around is to change loop{} to loop{Thread.pass} but I don't know if this still tests what it is supposed to test.
