Summary: cannot kill the forked process from main process

Initial Comment:
Hi there,

I have the problem to kill the forked process. The test code is listed below:

require ''rubygems''
require ''win32/process.rb''

begin
  
  pid = Process.fork do 

    2.times do
      sleep 10
      puts "output from process #{Process.pid}"
    end
  end
  
  puts ARGV.inspect
  if !(ARGV.last =~ /child/)
    puts "start parent process"
    sleep 11
    Process.kill(''INT'', [pid]) 
    
    1.times do
       puts "output from parent process"
       sleep 10
    end   
  end

rescue Exception => err
  puts "%s, %s"% [ err.inspect, err.backtrace]
end

when I run this test code, I always get the exception. Here is the test log:

C:\myworkspace\SSMSProject\Source\ruby>ruby Noname3.rb

Do I miss something to make Process.kill work? Any help would be much
appreciated. Thanks in advance!
