There's a simpler example within this page:
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?SingletonTutorial
(towards the end of section 2) although it doesn't include the concurrency
limit.

I don't think you should need to use 'select' when writing a threaded
server. If you want a timeout, it's simpler to do:

   require 'timeout'
   status = timeout(5) do
     # something which may take time
   end

Cheers,

Brian.
