[fxruby-users] FXRuby and multithreading

[Gonzalo Garramuno]

I can confirm this bug, under FXRuby1.4.2.  Under 1.2, it seems to work
fine.
Adding:

    @clockThread = Thread.new(@clockLabel) { |clockLabel|
      while true
        clockLabel.text = Time.now.strftime("%I:%M:%S %p")
        sleep(1)
 GC.start  ### new addition
      end
    }

will cause a segfault.  This seems akin to the segfaults I've been seeing
with IFMapper whenever I called the garbage collector, so the problem may be
related.
