[Ruby-DBI-devel] "Commands out of sync" error from MySQL

[Matthew B. <ma...@by...>]

Hello: using Ruby 1.6.7 with mysql-ruby 2.4.2a and ruby-dbi 0.14, am I safe 
trying to use the same database handle from multiple Ruby threads?  Only I'm 
getting a "Commands out of sync error" from MySQL, detailed here:

  http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Commands_out_of_sync.html

and wondered whether particular sequences of commands etc. would be unsafe.  
For instance if I use a select_all statement with a supplied block, can I 
still issue further queries inside the block?  Will delve into the source 
tonight, but I assume this is a bug, or at least there is some undocumented 
'unsafe' use of the mysql module?

cheers,
