I don't see how join can timeout at all the way you've called it.  join 
should never timeout, unless you specify a limit:


------------------------------------------------------------ Thread#join
     thr.join          => thr
     thr.join(limit)   => thr
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The calling thread will suspend execution and run _thr_. Does not
     return until _thr_ exits or until _limit_ seconds have passed. If
     the time limit expires, +nil+ will be returned, otherwise _thr_ is
     returned.
