From: Ronald Fischer Date: 2007-06-18T18:49:05+09:00 Subject: Probable bug: net/ftp and mysql thread problem I found a bug, which seems to appear in Ruby 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 under Windows, when net/ftp and the mysql 2.7.3 gem are used in the same program. The but can be demonstrated with the following program: require 'mysql' require 'net/ftp' # (replace your host/user/pwd here) Net::FTP.new('host','user','passwd') If I run this program, I get the error message Error in my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn't exit The error disappears if I either - comment out the require 'mysql' line - comment out the Net::FTP.new(...) line Ronald -- Ronald Fischer Phone: +49-89-452133-162
