Which version of ruby are you using? Is it >= 1.8.7.249-4 ?
ruby1.8 (1.8.7.249-4) unstable; urgency=low
[ Lucas Nussbaum ]
[..]
* Update debian/patches/100312_timeout-fix.dpatch after discussion with
Petr Salinger. Treat FreeBSD the same as Linux. Closes: #580464
[..]
ruby1.8 (1.8.7.249-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Add 100312_timeout-fix.dpatch: Backport upstream change to fix
problem with threads and timeouts. Closes: #539987
(That bug was triggered by puppet)
