[MacRuby-devel] macruby nightly build 2009-09-10

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Robert,

The problem is line 68, the call to autorelease. If you remove it it  
should load again. The reason is that autorelease (like release and  
retain) are ignored selectors of the runtime. Clearly we should not  
crash this way, I will fix that.

Also, keep in mind that retain, release and autorelease should not be  
used in MacRuby. We run under GC mode which makes these calls no-ops.
