Yeah I'd agree.  I tried a number of simple threading tests under the
msvc versions of Ruby and had sporadic problems with threads stalling.  For
example, printed data would not be displayed until the threads were finished.

Oh, and for the list: I noticed that my Hash#sprintf was incorrect in the previous e-mail.. Here's the correct:

class Hash
    def sprintf( *args )
        if args == []; return; end
        eval "return Kernel::sprintf( '" + args.shift + "', " + args.sjoin( "self[ '%s' ]", ", " ) + " )"
    end
end
