=begin
The following code works in 1.8.6, not in 1.9.x...

require 'win32ole'
wmi = WIN32OLE.connect("winmgmts://")
processes = wmi.ExecQuery("select * from win32_process")
proc = nil
t = []
processes.each {|process|
t << Thread.new { sleep 0.1
process.setPriority 32
}
}

t.each{|t| t.join}

error is:

Hi, Masaki Suketa

Could you take a look at this ticket?

To fix this issue, I think Win32OLE should be MTA model instead of STA model.
I had tried MTA instead of STA and fixed this issue, but I have another two
following issues:

(1) WIN32OLE_EVENT does not work very well.
(2) I can't use CoRegisterMessageFilter in MTA model, so I have to fix the
issue in [ruby-dev:35278] without CoRegisterMessageFilter.

And I have not fixed these issues yet.

I'm not sure, but I think I could fix (1) by using critical section
but I don't know how to fix (2).

Hi,

I think Masaki meant that this bug cannot be fixed.
Do not use win32ole with threads, at least for a while.

If Roger or anyone have an idea to fix this issue, please send us
a patch!
