Sure no problem, it's not that we that much traffic yet :)

The version of 1.9 that should be used for the specs and MacRuby is  
trunk HEAD. Which means it's quite the moving target stil. However,  
when working on MacRuby it should be a big problem.
But the main thing is that both MacRuby and RubySpec have not set a  
fixed target yet for 1.9 compatibility.

That sounds great! But please first double-check with 1.9 HEAD, if the  
spec still passes on that version, then yes, please look into it and/ 
or fix MacRuby.

Thanks!
