Hi,

When I daemonize a process, it somehow messes up threads from the parent process.  Here is a script to reproduce the problem:

  r1, w1 = IO.pipe
  r2, w2 = IO.pipe
  
  t = Thread.new {
    puts "start"
    w1.write "x"
    IO.select([r2])
    puts "alive"
  }
  
  IO.select([r1])
  Process.daemon true, true # comment this line out and everything works
  puts Process.pid
  w2.write "x"
  t.join
  puts "done"

If you run this program, there will be a ruby process in the background that never dies.  If you comment out the "Process.daemon" line, the script finishes.
=end
