#9202: Mac OSX singleton
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  fygrave   |       Owner:  core

 Severity:  normal    |    Keywords:  rails singleton mac osx
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 There's a problem with Mac OSx singleton class. To make the story short,
 the singleton doesn't work as singleton on mac osx platform. with every
 request a new instance of the class is created.
 mac-2:~/rails/app/models mac$ uname -a
 Darwin mac-2.local 8.10.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.10.1: Wed May 23

 rails gem version - 1.2.3

 to reproduce define a class:

 foo.rb in models which would look like this:

 class Foo
   include Singleton
   class << self; attr_accessor :Foopipe; end

   def initialize
       @cmd = "/bin/sleep 2000"
       if  self.class.Foopipe == nil then
           self.class.Foopipe = IO.popen(@cmd, "r+")
           self.class.KMpipe.sync = true
           self.class.Foopipe.write("something)
           self.class.KMpipe.flush
       end
  end

 ... the rest of class is not relevant.

 Foopipe in this example never takes any value, and an instance of the
 class (and running proccess that could be seen with ps .. ) is created
 every time when the class is created and accessed...
