Hmm.. this is not an item I wanted. when abrt is disabled, ruby shouldn't run any additional code. any new code path might make application deadlock. for clarify, the worst scenario is, ruby or ruby extention made memory corruption and libc internal function made SEGV and then libc lock (libc internal mutex) was not released. any libc call may makes deadlock. and if ruby don't exit, abrt can't record correct information and more importantly, crash watching daemon can't know ruby stop to working and then fail to restart it. >> I mean, I want to integrate it to upstream.
