The BackgrounDRb mailing list will give you better odds of a good answer.

In general, I treat my background threads with the strictest isolation, and 
I don't go passing arrays back and forth. Consider the marshalling that must 
occur just for one stinkin' <<. So I don't know the answer to your question, 
even though I have used BackgrounDRb on 2 projects so far...
