From: "bpot (Bob Potter)" Date: 2013-02-19T06:15:51+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:52502] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7584] Ruby hangs when shutting down an ssl connection in gc finalization Issue #7584 has been updated by bpot (Bob Potter). For what it's worth, we were able to work around this by explicitly shutting down ssl connections instead of letting it happen during GC. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7584: Ruby hangs when shutting down an ssl connection in gc finalization https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7584#change-36570 Author: bpot (Bob Potter) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: MartinBosslet (Martin Bosslet) Category: ext Target version: 2.0.0 ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10) [i686-linux] It appears that during garbage collection ruby will sometimes attempt to shutdown an ssl connection that has already been shutdown. At least in certain cases this causes the SSL_shutdown call to block forever.
