Subject: [ruby-core:69934] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11336] TestProcess#test_exec_fd_3_redirect failed on Solaris 10

Issue #11336 has been updated by Naohisa Goto.


The following example can reproduce the problem that the timer thread reads fd=3 after the redirection to fd=3 is set and before execve() is called, and then the script waits forever in b[0].read(1) and/or IO.for_fd(3).read(1). 

~~~
ruby -e 'a = IO.pipe; b = IO.pipe; p a; p b; opt = { 3=>a[0], 1=>b[1] }; (5..50).each { |i| opt[i] = "/dev/zero" }; pid = fork { exec("ruby", "-e", "print IO.for_fd(3).read(1)", opt)}; b[1].close; a[0].close; a[1].write("."); p b[0].read(1); Process.wait(pid)'
~~~

So, I also think stopping timer thread before execve is needed on all OS.
