Thanks, it does the job :)

However I've a second problem:

I use rb_protect() so the exception is not executed and, indeed, I can
get it (the VALUE) using rb_errinfo().

The problem is that the exception seems to remain "alive" in the
thread, so when the thread ends the exception is raised!
How to avoid that? this is: how to tell the thread "please forgive the
last exception forever"?

Thanks a lot.
