I'm working on it -- the bug happens during some rather long unit tests
and I want to isolate the test case responsible for this. You can expect
more news soon.

BTW, the unit tests are proving to be a great crash test suite for ruby,
I'm getting all sorts of crashes (segfault, unknown node, method xxx
called on finalized object, etc) and infinite loops ;)
