I am seeing some strange behavior with NSDate, here is my basic code in a new MacRuby project.

I am running on a MacBook 2009 model, Mac OSX 10.6.6

I am using the latest XCode and the MacRuby Framework 0.7 in XCode 

in rbmain.rb:

NSLog("In rb_main.rb")
puts "NSDate = " + NSDate.date.to_s
NSLog( "NSDate = " + NSDate.date.to_s)

CCode.printNSDate

in CCode.m:

@implementation CCode

  + (void) printNSDate
  {
    NSLog(@"In printNSDate, NSDate = %@", NSDate.date);
  }

@end

When compiled: 64-bit Universal, the output is

2011-01-28 05:54:16.972 TestRuby[90066:a0f] In rb_main.rb
NSDate = 2011-01-28 05:54:16 -0600

When compiled: 32-bit Universal, the output is

The Obj-C routine prints the correct time. 5:51:23 in both cases.
For 32 bit, the Ruby code prints some time in the past that never changes.
For 64 bit, the Ruby code prints the correct time.

Any idea's what could be going on?

Thanks!
