Did you run the same MySQL version under Fedora?

I didn't updated to latest beta (5.1) of MySQL, this is my result:

D:\Users\Developer\Desktop>ruby -w db_test.rb
Client Info: 5.0.45
Error in my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn't exit

5.1 is flagged as Release Candidate / Development Release. Maybe the
mysql-ruby bindings need to be tweaked for making this compatible.

Since mswin32 extensions need VC6, do you have the compiler available
to build from source?
