hemant,

Actually... no I wasn't.

So if I'm in a C extension and want to let the Ruby continue  
processing can I do this:

- Async Operation
- rb_thread_schedule()
- Wait in C ext for async operation to complete (note that this C  
extension is called from within a Ruby thread)

and the C ext would not block the other Ruby threads from that point?

Thank you very much!
