Subject: Re: signal problems on win32

I've encountered this as well, and had just resorted to using
mechanisms other than SIGINT to terminate the program. However, there's
a workaround suggested in the ruby-talk archives:

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/82924

Basically, it amounts to putting a busy-wait loop in a background
thread; it seems that adding the thread changes Ruby's signal handling
and allows the SIGINT to get delivered correctly.

Anyone have a more satisfactory explanation for the source of the
problem?
