Hello,

Just copied the code piece from the ruby cookbook:

require 'thread'
class CounterThread < Thread
  def initialize
    @count = 0
    @continue = true
    super do
      @count += 1 while @continue
      puts "I counted up to #{@count} before I was cruelly stopped."
    end
  end

  def stop
    @continue = false
  end
end

counter = CounterThread.new
sleep 2
counter.stop


After I run it, I didn's see any output, even the expected puts:
"I counted up to #{@count} before I was cruelly stopped."

Where is wrong?
Thanks.
