Thus spake Gabriele Marrone on 11/05/2006 02:59 AM: > This is not just a ruby issue, it's the way signal handlers work. Thanks for the explanation and the link. The days when I learned about unix system programming at the university are obviously long past... ;-) Well, I did just what you suggested and now handle signals via global variables that get set/unset with each signal trappen. That suits my needs since I do not expect too many signals (keypresses) at once. Regards, Phil
