Yes i hope that some persons of the ruby core team will fix this.
Having such a huge bug and call ruby platform independent is something
that does not fit together.

Technically the code must be factored out in an abstract event loop,
that also allows to play nicely with GUI interfaces. Only TCL and Perl
have a good working event loop at the moment.
