 Hiya!

 I'm experiencing random crashes in a MacRuby app currently in development
 (http://github.com/rubiojr/canasto).

 Adding lot's of debugging code, I've traced the crash to happen always on
 the same place: a call to RestClient.get inside a Ruby thread (canasto.rb
 source file).

 It's my first Cocoa app and my concurrent programming skills are quite
 poor, so I'm probably not skilled enough to solve the threading problem
 the right way...

 Anyway, I'm gonna paste the backtrace below and the crash report is
 attached...

 BTW: Thank you guys. Your work and talent give us, the ruby developers,
 OSX superpowers!
