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

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Robert,

The problem here is dealloc. Same reason, dealloc is ignored by the  
runtime, and you should not use it in MacRuby, it will never be called.

I just fixed macruby to not crash in case autorelease or dealloc is  
used, but keep in mind that using these selectors won't do anything.
