Subject: [ruby-talk:14055] thread deadlock message - what does it mean?

I got the following set of error messages after my application was running 
for a while (it does use dRuby and threads):

deadlock 0x45a51b8: 2:8 (main) - drb_srvr.rb:317
deadlock 0x4611c40: 2:1  - 
/cygdrive/c/RUBY/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/drb/drb.rb:29

deadlock 0x459ad00: 2:2  - ./winntkill.rb:24
Exception `fatal' at ./winntkill.rb:24 - Thread: deadlock
./winntkill.rb:24: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.6.2 (2000-12-18) [i386-cygwin]
      0 [sig] RUBY 827819 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to 
RUBY.EXE.stackdump


This is running on a Win98 machine.  
Can anybody give me any idea what it means?  Also, How does one interpret 
the RUBY.EXE.stackdump?

TIA

Phil
