Subject: Bus Error with tk app

I have a (horribly written) tk app which used to work just fine.  I recently 
added threading to it, and it now works fine for some period of time, but 
then crashses leaving only:

->8-->8--
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1623: [BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [sparc-solaris2.8]

Abort
->8-->8--

The recently modified code is this:
<code>

threads = []
check_status = proc {
    threads.clear
    $labels.each_key do |aHost|
        threads << Thread.new(aHost) do |host|
            if $look[host] == 1
                if system("ping #{host} 4 > /dev/null 2>&1")
                    ...snip...
                else
                    ...snip...
                end
            end
        end
    end
    updater.configure('text' => "Last update: " + 
Time.new.strftime(DATE_FORMAT + ":%S"))
    Tk.after(tknm_interval, &check_status)
}
check_status.call
threads.each do |t| t.join end
Tk.mainloop()

</code>

Am I doing something wrong here?
