That confirms that I'm not running the code I think I am, and the above stack trace makes that obvious, (see /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sup/sent.rb). So I was running some unholy mixture of the installed Debian sup and the from-git sup and it worked no better than one would expect. My previously reported crashes didn't happen to fail in a way that made /usr/lib show up in the stack trace, but both crashes are fixed by just moving /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sup out of the way. So I'm glad to have things working now, but I'm still curious to know why ruby goes digging into /usr/lib/ruby/1.8 to find sup/sent.rb when there's a ./lib/sub/sent.rb present and I've passed a "-I ./lib" option to ruby, (and plainly, ruby is interpreting other files from ./lib). And I'd be glad if someone could recommend a ruby-esque way to debug a situation like this. I mean, I could obviously have just run ruby under strace and looked for the paths of various *.rb files getting loaded, but surely there's some more ruby-specific way to list files that are being used? -Carl PS. I'm intrigued by the following mention: You?ve got the same sort of command-line debugger available. [http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/ruby-from-other-languages/to-ruby-from-c-and-c-/] so that's clearly something I'm going to have to learn to use. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
