Comment(by rich@…):

 Replying to [comment:6 mattaimonetti@…]:
 Here is what i am observing is happening.  i just committed code to hold
 all listeners but when you do:

 on_notification ...
 end

 there is an object created internally which is the listener.  that object
 is being garbage collected.  it was likely a bug under 0.4 that did not
 garbage collect this but now it is.  you can do one of two things.
 reinstall macruby after my commit tonight OR just do:

 @listener = on_notification ...
 end

 thus you hold that in an instance variable so it will not be garbage
 collected.

 See if that works
