Subject: Threads raising exceptions

I have the following piece of threading code:

Thread.new(i) do |j|
	#$SAFE = 4
	b = 0
	loop do
		b += 1
		raise 'Test' if j == 3 and b == 100
		sleep(0)
	end
end

This behaves as expected - if Thread.abort_on_exception is true, the program 
throws an exception and dies, otherwise just this thread dies, and no  
exception I can rescue. So far, so good.

If, however, I uncomment the line with $SAFE = 4, it behaves as if 
Thread.abort_on_exception is false, and so I can't catch any exception when a 
thread dies, and so I can't find out what happened, which I need to! What can 
I do about this?
