Subject: Can not catch PTY::ChildExited exception

Hi guys!

I have problem that I can not catch PTY::ChildExited exception. Here is
the code:

require 'pty'

cmd = "/home3/cman/work/product/integrator/test/syb2/OCS-15_0/bin/isql
-Uuser2 -Puser2 -Scman2"

begin

    pipe_read, pipe_write, pid = PTY.spawn(cmd)

rescue PTY::ChildExited => msg
    puts "Caught child exited exception!"
rescue => msg
    puts "Caught exception!"
end

sleep 10

printf "TEST END\n"

When I run it I have the following:

pty_test.rb:7: pty - exited: 1278 (PTY::ChildExited)


I am wondering why exception is not caught?  What is more when I remove
sleep operator then  there is no exception  at all.  Script works and
prints TEST END.

My environment:

ruby 1.8.7 (2008-06-20 patchlevel 22) [x86_64-linux]
Linux 2.6.24-23-server #1 SMP Mon Jan 26 01:36:05 UTC 2009 x86_64
GNU/Linux

What I am doing wrong?

Best regards.
Denis
