 I've a problem using Drb and get a problem I don't get if I use bog
 standard ruby 1.8

 My client and server code is below.

 The server works fine but if I try and invoke any method on the client
 from the server I get this error:



 {{{
 core:in `open:': can't convert NSMutableDictionary into String (TypeError)
         from
 /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.5/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/drb/drb.rb:1196:in

 }}}


 Any help super gratefully received :)

 '''SERVER CODE''

   def initialize
     @value = 0
   end

   def increment
     @value += 1
   end

 end
 service = DRb.start_service("druby://localhost:4242", Incrementer.new)
 print "service started on port 4242\n"
 DRb.thread.join

 }}}



 '''CLIENT CODE'''

 {{{
 require 'drb'
 DRb.start_service
 server = DRbObject.new_with_uri('druby://localhost:4242')
