Subject: [ruby-talk:19382] Re: preemption

Hmm: 
Under "pure cygwin" (i.e.: using the cywin-shell and running a ruby(.exe)
built in the cygwin-shell) the thread is not preempted. 
OTH I can run the ruby.exe from "your" distribution in the cygwin-shell and
then the thread is preemted as expected. 
The difference: this ruby.exe loads the cygwin-ruby16.dll. 

So it must be the code which is located in the cygwin-ruby16.dll which makes
the difference!

Does this help?

Clemens
PS: What exactly makes up the cygwin-ruby16.dll?
