Bug #9719: longjmp causes uninitialized stack frame on threaded procs

I'm developing a script that uses tiny_tds and mechanize. There is an implementation of threads spawning connections to a database(tiny_tds) using transactions and rescuing deathlocks, to one site (using mechanize). There are 6 threads spawned and then joined. Everything goes well but in random times the script dies with the message:

*** longjmp causes uninitialized stack frame ***: ruby terminated

The backtrace is:

I assume this has to do with the manage of threads (because of the longjmp)

I think the issue is the combination of tiny_tds and threading, every thread is trying to commit a transaction in the same database and the same tables, this is rescued and the transaction which fails rolls back and then retries. I don't know if this happends when the control changes from one thread to another causing some weird context failure when the longjmp takes place.
