Hi,

My patch resolves this issue. That patch was never integrated in the CVS
tree and I don't know why.

I'm using that patch in my software (Lektora, http://www.lektora.com, great
RSS aggregator that integrates in Firefox/IE) and it works great.

I would be glad if that patch would be integrated because I have to manually
apply it for each Ruby release. ;-(

Also, while I was porting Lektora to MacOSX, I realized that dns lookups
were blocking all threads too. That slows down a lot my software.

I made a patch that resolves this issue too. It uses pthreads to make dns
lookups and it works great. With that patch applied, the ruby process can go
100% CPU without any blocking.

I'll prepare and send this new patch soon. I need to do the equivalent on
Win32 using native Win32 threads.

Regards,

Jean-Francois Nadeau

PS: I want to write a nice Ruby success story, i.e. the benefits of Ruby in
the Lektora project.
