What Ruby version does [ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org) refer to? The main page has links to  
1.8.6, 1.8.7, and 1.9. Following 1.8.6 for Thread takes me to  
[class Thread - RDoc Documentation](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Thread.html) which lists  
Thread.exclusive as an api. However, MRI 1.8.6 does not have such an  
api. There are no RubySpecs for it either.

Thanks,  
Shri

I have no clue where that comes from. You should probably email James  
Britt at Ruby-doc and ask what is up with that.
