Also, I've realized about the following in C code:

  int exception_tag;
  VALUE ret;

  ret = rb_protect(function, Qnil, &exception_tag);


If while function() is being executed (which invokes Ruby land code)
current thread is killed with Thread#kill, then rb_protect() exits
with the following ANNOYING data:

  exception_tag => int 8
  ret => VALUE FIXNUM 8

If after that I do:

  VALUE exception = rb_errinfo();

Then I get VALUE FIXNUM 8. Yes, rb_errinfo() returns FIXNUM 8 !!!
