So what should I do?
My problem was creating a new instant of a class, which runs in a
separate thread, and the main thread waits for it before it exits.
I want to handle this behaviour in the code of the class definition with
a at_exit {t.join}, but it doesn't work. I'm waiting for other working
solutions.

Thx in advance
