>             Project: Qpid Proton
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: ruby-binding
>    Affects Versions: 0.10

> Ruby has a global lock the GVL, like python's GIL.
> The ruby binding Reactor#process blocks in pn_reactor_process while holding the lock, blocking all other ruby threads.
> This is the same issue as PROTON-752, but it was only fixed for messenger, not for the reactor.
> The fix is more complex, we can't simply call pn_reactor_process in rb_thread_call_without_gvl() because it calls handler functions that call back into ruby. We need to isolate just the blocking IO code in without_gvl and restore the lock before handlers call back into ruby.
