[ruby-core:28298] [Bug #2780] "Handle is invalid" when accessing the file system from different threads (win32)

Bug #2780: "Handle is invalid" when accessing the file system from different threads (win32)

ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041) [i386-mswin32]

Sometimes when building projects using our own build tool written in ruby, the ruby interpreter crashes on us. The build tool uses multiple threads to compile files in parallel. (Like "make -j 2")

First we got this backtrace:

C:/projekte/tools/code/animation/AnimationConverter/helpers/lace/lib/lace/dependencies.rb:32: [BUG] Das Handle ist ung続ltig.

[NOTE]
You may encounter a bug of Ruby interpreter. Bug reports are welcome.

This is in a File.read call.
I have then wrapped this File.read in a mutex and now get (less frequently):

Ie. the same error in a File.expand_path. ("Das Handle ist ung続ltig." translates to "The handle is invalid.") This was tested on Windows XP.
