So much for old news, here is the latest update:

I posted the above message about 3 hours ago on comp.lang.ruby, but it never
showed up in http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/16401-16600.shtml,
so maybe mirroring is both directions is now broken.

(Please note that I am not subscribed to mail list and will likely not see
replys that don't make it to comp.lang.ruby.)
