Hey Peter, thanks for deliberately ignoring my whining.  Now, if you'll
excuse me I have to go and continue to security audit the C extensions
in Mongrel so that I can be sure there's no buffer overflows.

Man, if only Ruby were faster.  Then I wouldn't have to write so much
stuff in C and could just worry about crafting beautiful code.  Oh well,
back to work on my C .... I mean Ruby ... program.
