Subject: Mutex

Hi,
I have a trouble using the ConditionVariable and Mutex Class ,
Actualy , I'm tryin' to make a Semaphore to manage Threads
a simple semaphore with its 2 famous methods looks like :

def acquire()

    raise "Interrupted Thread " if (!Thread.current.alive?)
    @mutex.synchronize {
     while @permits < 1
       @cv.wait(@mutex)
     end
    @permits = @permits - 1
    }
end


def release()
    @mutex.synchronize{

      @permits += 1
      @cv.signal

      }

end


But When I call The acquire Method later

I get : `wait': stopping only thread (ThreadError)

SomeOne has an idea ??

Thx;)
