Issue #2295 has been updated by tomer doron. while this is happening on production several times a day, there is not a specific scenario i can refer you to. it is more random in nature like memory issues tend to be. so, while I cant say it is easily recreatable, but it is most certainly reliably recreatable... I can keep uploading the crash reports as they come through. few data points: * this is running on fedora 8 VM in amazon EC2 * ruby compiled from source. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2295 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
