example will not work in 1.9+
Since 1.9 introduces native threads, we cannot assume the order of exectution and the example above is not thread safe and fails with a “deadlock detected (fatal)” error. Also Thread.pass is pointless in the context of native threads.
This will work as intended with native threads:
a = Thread.new { print "a"; Thread.stop; print "c" } sleep(0.1) until a.status == 'sleep' print "b" a.run a.join
