Subject: safety of timeout()

hi,

i've seen discussion previously regarding the safety of timeout,
however, as i understand it, this usage is safe (@client is connected
socket)

begin
  timeout(30) do
    line = @client.gets
  end
rescue Timeout::Error
   @client.close
end

am i wrong? all the real work is done elsewhere once complete requests
have been received.
