HP-UX is not supported.  I'm sorry, but please create a patch yourself.

 Hi,

 I've had reasonable success with compiling 1.9.1 on HP-UX.  But 1.9.2 
has been problematic since preview3 came out.  It seems the main issue 
is with threads.  A very simple example (as follows) works fine on 1.9.1 
but the thread never seems to start on 1.9.2-rc2.

 <code>
 thr = Thread.new { puts "thr start"; sleep 1; puts "thr exit" }
 puts "main join"
 thr.join
 puts "main exit"
 </code>

 Sometimes it blocks indefinitely, and when I press control-C to stop 
it, I get a bus error:

 <trace>

 Some other times I get a seg-fault.  Can anyone point me to changes to 
threading in 1.9.2 so that I can investigate this more quickly and maybe 
find a solution?

 Thanks,
 Graham.
