 OK, but now you really think that this is normal ?

pigeon% cat b.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'pty'
require 'expect'

pty_read, pty_write, pid = PTY.spawn( "irb" )
p pid
pty_write.sync = true
pty_read.expect( "irb(main):001:0> " )
pty_write.print( "exit\n" )
pty_read.close
pty_write.close
10000.times {}
pigeon% 

pigeon% b.rb
25521
./b.rb:12:in `times': Child_changed: 25521 (RuntimeError)
        from ./b.rb:12
pigeon% 

 and it exist other problems
