 Why you don't use Thread::abort_on_exception ?

pigeon% cat b.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
Thread.abort_on_exception = ARGV.size > 0
Thread.new do
   p "before"
   p "#{a}"
   p "after"
end
sleep 1
p "end"
pigeon%
 
pigeon% b.rb
"before"
"end"
pigeon% 

pigeon% b.rb 1
"before"
./b.rb:5: undefined local variable or method `a' for #<Object:0x401c6ce0> (NameError)
        from ./b.rb:3:in `initialize'
        from ./b.rb:3:in `new'
        from ./b.rb:3
