 From what I know of ruby, I think at_exit firing once is a 'bug', even 
if it doesn't core dump.  I hit this bug while trying matz's fastcgi 
trick [ruby-talk:13428].  In that example, continuations are used to 
invisibly create a loop in plain cgi script.  This allows the script to 
become a persistent fastcgi process.

I am not a c programmer, so I can't help.  Thank you for taking the 
time to look at this bug.  I appreciate your help.

Cheers,
