Subject: [ruby-core:35942] change in timeout error

Hello. Sorry if this is a repeat...

I noticed that apparently from
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb/ruby/ruby-core/15458?15182-15607+split-mode-vertical

In CRuby 1.9, Timeout::Error is a StandardError so you can rescue it
with the 'rescue' statement.
In CRuby 1.8, Timeout::Error is not a StandardError but a Interrupt
which is a subclass of SignalException. So you can NOT rescue it with
the 'rescue'.

Is this expected then?
Thanks!
