  Great thanks, I had completely forgotten to call join for the
threads... By the way, the version with fork is around 4 times faster on
my box:

ruby test_threads_system.rb > /dev/null  0.04s user 0.10s system 21% cpu
0.639 total
ruby test_threads_system_fork.rb > /dev/null  0.00s user 0.04s system
25% cpu 0.171 total

  Cheers and thanks !!
