Hi,

I’m using the version of Ruby that comes with Redhat Enterprise Linux  
4. It’s Ruby 1.8.1 with a bunch of patches.

I’m getting a bunch these warnings:  
warning: fork terminates thread at ./application.rb:84

I searched the archives and Matz said that the warnings would go away  
in 1.8.2.

Is there anything I can do to supress this warning under Ruby 1.8.1?

Thanks,  
Joe
