Comment 23 for bug 520715

I'm trying to pick up the ball for Nigel because he's rather busy with something else at the moment.

What Nigel was trying to say in comment #19, was that we're not seeing the correct behaviour. i.e. the code was not working the way it is supposed to. The thread is not getting killed when there is a timeout.

From IRC, just so there's a record here, it sounds like you're asking for a test case in pure Ruby that doesn't involve the Timeout module/class.
