 Here's a program:

 {{{
 require 'rubygems'
 gem 'test-unit'    # Note this is 2.0.7.
 require 'test/unit'
 framework 'Cocoa'
 }}}

 Much of the time (but not always), this fails with:

 {{{
 method dispatch is b0rked
 Abort trap
 }}}

 Sometimes it's this:

 {{{
 unknown: [BUG] Segmentation fault
 MacRuby version 0.6 (ruby 1.9.0) [universal-darwin10.0, x86_64]

 Abort trap
 }}}

 Sometimes it exits successfully.

 Here's a way to make it consistently exit successfully: put the "framework
 Cocoa" before the "gem test-unit".

 Another fun way to make it consistently exit successfully is to replace
 "require test/unit' with the *contents* of that file.

 Even though there's a simple workaround, I'm calling it "major" because
 the workaround is hard to find.
