 @lrz asked me to file this. I'm far from an expert at submitting tickets
 so sorry if this is vague, etc..

 I'm trying to benchmark MacRuby on the Alioth Shootout programs (
 http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ ). The first is binary-trees.rb as I've
 posted at http://gist.github.com/282386

 Running binary-trees.rb with an argument of 20 (as is done in the Alioth
 shootout proper) results in MacRuby chewing up 3GB of memory in just the
 first minute, whereas 1.9.1 makes solid progress and doesn't go above
 about 300MB. This may or may not be a leak (it may just be an inefficiency
 in MR somewhere.. I didn't keep it running beyond the minute).
