Well, for the purposes here, if Ruby's threads were green threads, yes 
they would have been comparable to Erlang green processes.  My emphasis 
is far more on the "green" and far less on whether it is a process or a 
thread.

As far as the definition of green and whether it has anything to do with 
a scheduler or not, my definition of green is simply whether or not it 
is a 'real' thread or simply a virtual thread which lives inside of the 
vm.
