The Broken Promises of MRI/REE/YARV

I've actually had an ungodly metric ton of ruby segfaults in the past month or so, and almost never before that. At least one of them has definitely been GC-related - see "therubyracer is not thread safe" for one problem I've been running into. You also have to use PassengerSpawnMethod conservative to avoid GC-related failures in passenger with rails 3.1.

I'm not sure if those are both related to this or not, but I've had drastically more segfaults lately than in my past 6 years of ruby programming. It's getting pretty bad imo.

but how much of that is the interpreter's fault?

I know I can't run typhoeus + thin on 1.9.2 on OSX as it reliably crashes every ten minutes and I have no clue on how to debug it, but it is not a problem with the interpreter, it's a problem with external libraries.
